when faced with a decision i cover my mouth with my hand and think for a while.

I think I pay more attention to people's body language now than I did before I started paying poker. It's amazing how many times someone is telling me something, I look at their body language and think, "they are totally bluffing me."

Me personally, I found that whenever I go to pay for something, and I have three of the same coins in my hand, I usually end up doing like a chip twirl without thinking about it.
I always raise.........I am getting killed in bar tips

I actually told a salesperson at Best Buy "Buying the extended warranty on this is negative EV"
Should have seen the puzzled look he had.

I refer to people's attributes with PT numbers sometimes.
ex: "That girl is a bitch. Her flop aggression factor is 4."

Seriously though, poker has helped me out in terms of critical thinking and decisions I make in life.

I was discussing the Iraq war the other day and brought up pot odds as an example, the people there thought I was a tad crazy (but I had a good point, basically I was saying the whole "we don't want them to have died in ain" argument doesn't fly, they're already in the pot, but if by withdrawing we lose progress, it should be looked at what we lose, we have what we have, just like you shouldn't chase the flush draw because "I don't want to lose the money I already put in there" but on the other hand you also lose your chance at the pot, sometimes you had odds, hope that made sense to you because it didn't really make any sense to the population of no serious poker players)

Poker has definitely taught me how to think before I speak.
