Poker and day trading are gambling

[jM_888]

Always forced myself to believe that it's my hard work not that's making me decent money from the markets trading, Found poker an interesting game watching it online and learning. Now I play a decent game after 6 months of playing and winning here and there. They both are gambling, If anyone denies, he's just giving hope to himself.

Huh?
So is there no point in spending large amounts of time studying the game of poker?

6mos. of playing... sounds like a good example of Dunning Kruger effect

Poker is a great game for everyone, and if you study and are very disciplined you will achieve many achievements, there is always a luck factor, like everywhere, but that fades over time.

Much more skill in poker than trading the markets, where you are at the mercy of surprise events, and you don't ever know who you are up against.

The main thing is to stick to acceptable risks and then trading and poker will bring income
I have been playing poker for over 12 years and actively trading for about 10 years. Poker is a hobby after work, but honestly speaking, my work usually brings me more pleasure than my hobby

 

[tabaskichhh]

these two disciplines are very similar because both require the skills of discipline, impulse control, and gambling

Many times poker is a lie

I don't know much about trading, but poker is a game of chance, even if some people say otherwise.

It’s strange, but I almost never met people who said that their work was pleasant and easy.

For me they are both gambling, but if you study you have more chances of winning in the long run. If you don't have the right mentality (I don't have), I would treat them as just a hobby and not as a job.
