LINK Why Poker Is A Perfect Game for Introverts

"Poker is arguably the most popular and the most exciting card game out there and surely is one of the most popular casino games. Surely, anyone can learn to play poker well, and anyone can become a real pro, but some people say that it is much easier for introverted people." This might explain why I excel at Texas Hold'em.

What games do you play well that may be related to your introversion?

I strongly suspect that most good poker players have a significant proportion of introverted characteristics. I think at least 60% of consistent plus players have a moderately pronounced introverted personality.
Do you think I'm being nerdy? Hahaha, I am. After all, I'm an introvert myself. I often research the field of gambling. The other day I was researching the top casinos in Canada. Purely because I want to go there for a weekend and go in to play somewhere if possible, I read it here [top-canadacasinos.com].
Non-introverts, I believe, have probably been able to overcome features of their personality that work against them in poker. They manage, monitor, suppress, and direct their temperament in such a way as to be successful players at the table. And it most likely takes a great deal of effort, energy, and discipline for them to do so.
My main contention is that there is presumably a type of personality with an innate ability to win at poker. Its natural qualities contribute to a serious game of poker. This player can focus all of his energy on thinking through situations. Not every player can do this and mainly because of their temperament.

Internet scrabble games. I'm usually playing a dozen or so games using 3 different apps.

I guess Scrabble. My mother and I take each other on every few weeks. I like games, but I play them with close friends and family so my introversion doesn't really come into play with them.

Do you ever play any games at get togethers with people you just met?

@GoodMan I don't really go to get togethers with people I just met where gaming comes into play. I wouldn't go somewhere just to play games with strangers, although if we're playing cards at a tea shop and a stranger is interested, I think we would include them. Is that what you mean?

@Lauren No. I mean get togethers where some of the people don’t know each other, but everyone either knows the host, or knows someone invited by the host. As a result of this, you end up playing games with people you know, and people you met that day.

@GoodMan No, I can't recall that I've ever done that. Have you? Did you like it?

@Lauren Yes, I've done it several times. Pool parties, backyard BBQ's, truth or dare, dominoes, etc. It's not so bad sometimes.
