I first started playing poker for money when I was around 18, so it was an amazing feeling to win at SNGs. I guess it boosted my confidence.
I still have positive feelings and memories about poker, although at the moment I exclusively play
freerolls. For me, it's a fun activity to do and it doesn't feel like a waste of time as there is a lot of skill involved in the game and you can potentially make money from it. It also makes my life more interesting and adds another dimension to it. Poker is a completely different world.
