I find poker to be a fantastic teaching tool. You make the best decisions and then are confronted with results that vary wildly in the short-term. Over time though, the correct decisions and behavior pay off. This is a perfect model (in a simplified form) for how things like patience and morality function in the real world. They don’t guarantee immediate payoffs and short-term success, they work most often and most reliably over long time frames.
