I have no intenion of quitting poker I enjoy it too much. I just played with some friends last night, up $400. Maybe I will be done next week, it all evens out. Playing with strangers is the best, you learn so much.

Hello, my poker brothers and sisters,
I play this game for a very long time, it was always for fun, never made some big wins out it, but the fun is priceless from my point of view, so in this way...I could call myself a god of poker Have you ever thought about stopping poker?

Quite the opposite, I am on a way on some higher performances, intend to play someday, in a very professional way. It is a lovely way of earning an existence, and honestly is one of my favorite games to play, especially in Live tournaments, where people are simply marvelous and the game can get epic. The thrills of the game can be felt in eFfing drifting in some ways Have you ever thought about stopping poker?

(that safe place of dirt with nothing to hit, on a decent rwd car and with desire for adrenaline. from 0-30-35 there`s a point of "relaxed enjoyment" of it. Those 2, are similar. The drifting with an All-In AA with AA on the flop).
English is a 2nd language for me, but I try to master it. Any flaws in my texts, please point them out. You`re helping me. Thank you for your attention and time, kind regards,
From the other side of the world, for some of you Have you ever thought about stopping poker?

I have become very frustrated with sites I play at regularly that appear to be trying to change their formats to be more favorable to them I guess , because me as player I am not really benefiting from their so called updates...it's quite a travesty because their old formats had NO issues...so I am guessing they wasn't making enough money so they are trying fix that. I love poker and its challenges ...and hope my frustrations do not cause me to go try something else.. Sad I play daily pretty loyal not feeling very appreciated

#8 June 13th, 2019, 7:17 AM

Obviously everybody plays poker to make money. Playing poker for a long time, 10 years probably, during this time, never thought to quit playing poker, it's like your own business, you are your own boss, besides this is a business you can do in any part of the world and at any time. Poker is freedom !

#9 June 13th, 2019, 11:19 AM

when I lose for a week all the time, I think stop playing.

#10 June 13th, 2019, 11:47 AM

No matter how bad a run I have had I never considered stopping playing. Have you ever thought about stopping poker?

#11 June 13th, 2019, 12:35 PM

Poker is my favorite hobby, so I play when I have free time. I like this game and I do not think that in the future I will stop playing.

#12 June 13th, 2019, 12:50 PM

#13 June 13th, 2019, 2:52 PM

Hi.
I stop playing when I have a bad mood when I feel bad or when I want to sleep. Other reasons not to play poker does not exist for me.
Good luck.

#14 June 13th, 2019, 5:05 PM

I play poker because I love it. Money can change a little, but it's a game that I could not do without.

#17 June 13th, 2019, 7:06 PM

I have never thought about leaving poker, this game is relaxing for me and I also feel the adrenaline when I play. I'm normally inside the bubble, but it's costing me to get to the final table

#18 June 13th, 2019, 7:48 PM

For me it's a yes, because of time issues, I have a small baby, sometimes I have to walk away from a table to take care of my gorgeous daughter Have you ever thought about stopping poker?

I keep on coming back tho Have you ever thought about stopping poker?

#19 June 13th, 2019, 7:50 PM

Yes, sometimes there is a glut of poker. Then I'll take a break. And in 2-3 days I start playing again.

#20 June 13th, 2019, 7:50 PM

Everyday. It s my unrealized dream.

#21 June 13th, 2019, 11:50 PM

Yes, this usually happens when you don’t add up for a long time and you lose a lot of money and already lose hope and faith and begin to doubt your game, you think that you started playing worse than your opponents, that players already play stronger than you and you think that in poker can not win money.

I�m actually just returning from about a 6 month hiatus. It was becoming too much of my free time so took a break to do other things. You only live once! Now I�m back but going to play a lighter schedule to hope to stay in the game and not burn out.

Best of luck.

#23 June 14th, 2019, 12:25 AM

I try to play poker as much as I can no matter what time it is. I only think about stopping playing poker is when my wife complains about it.

#24 June 14th, 2019, 1:10 AM

I play because I like it and I would love to win something important not only because of the monetary fact.
I stopped several pours but I continued.
I do not win very often but I do win small victories.

I thought about leaving the poker completely because of long negative periods

#25 June 14th, 2019, 3:25 AM

Before some years I stopped playing for a year with real money because of a massive tilt.
I focused on freerolls. Made about $150 and came back fresh as ever, knowing that I cost me money when I don't play.

#26 June 14th, 2019, 3:28 AM

Yes every time I loose, it just crosses my mind but I never really stop. I always keep on trying to be better at the game, but is hard. I may quit for a week take some time of but never though of stop playing for ever, but I do think and can tell you that I will never will STOP playing that I do tell you and I know.

#27 June 14th, 2019, 4:02 AM

Never stop. Sometimes i try to play less hours a week

#28 June 14th, 2019, 7:59 PM

We have never thought about stopping playing, it's normal. The important thing is the reason, if it affects your personal life in a negative way for some reason I think, that you have to seriously think about it

#29 June 14th, 2019, 10:06 PM

Even though I don't think poker will be my final main career, I do enjoy the lifestyle and the action. I mostly play at brick-and-mortar casinos so YMMV. Whether online or offline, accession on those tables can seem like watching an episode of GOT. Everyone trying to get to the top and so many ways of going about it.

#30 June 14th, 2019, 11:58 PM

No, I can't imagine not playing poker.

#31 June 15th, 2019, 6:45 AM

You need to take a break. But you always want to come back after days or weeks

#32 June 15th, 2019, 7:28 AM

I have never think about quiting poker. For sure i had some bad times with frustrtions but i took like 2 weeks off and then i was back on tables.

#33 June 15th, 2019, 1:41 PM

Hello.
I did not think to stop playing. I love this game, so if I have free time I play, if there is no time I do not play. Everything is simple.

#34 June 15th, 2019, 1:59 PM

I play poker for fun. At the moment, I think, is it worth to play again. I have 3 days ago, it was $ 105 for one day I was 21 $. The next day I lost all my money. And all this happened because of the fact that I moved to the larger limits Have you ever thought about stopping poker?

. Now I think if I start everything from the beginning?

#35 June 16th, 2019, 11:22 PM

I just started, and the start turned out good, not going to stop, I'm curious to play!

#36 June 16th, 2019, 11:45 PM

No because I like it very much and it is something that matces with me. It is a real fight!

#37 June 17th, 2019, 12:45 PM

I never thought about stopping playing poker. This is my passion. I will play until the end of my life. Recently, I prefer to go live - it gives me a lot more satisfaction Have you ever thought about stopping poker?

#38 June 25th, 2019, 2:39 PM

I play poker as hobby for fun so i do not intend to stop anytime soon. On the contrary - i am trying to gradually improve my game so that i earn some money also but as the free time is not much it is slow process. Sometimes i do not play for few weeks if i don't have free time but dropping the game altogether definitely is not on my list.

do you have evidence to show or confirm?

#40 June 28th, 2019, 1:37 PM

I would never stop poker. I love the game too much. I have been playing since I was 5.

#41 June 30th, 2019, 9:48 AM

I lose way more than I win even to the point where I lose my modest bankroll but I keep playing. I love the challenge of poker and will never stop because its a hobby I enjoy.

#42 June 30th, 2019, 10:06 AM

Most definitely.
I've stopped playing poker for a profit without a "bankroll". Too much stress with nothing to show for it.
I travelled to a couple countries & played live poker for some time, with 10-20 buyins, worst decision I've made.

#43 June 30th, 2019, 4:59 PM

Ive stopped several times in the last 15 years when lifes got really busy. Ive never stopped because I didnt want to play anymore though.

#44 June 30th, 2019, 5:20 PM

What`s the reason for u to play poker?
Money money money.... Have you ever thought about stopping poker?

Would u stop?
never Have you ever thought about stopping poker?

How often do u win?
Not often, but enough to make money. Have you ever thought about stopping poker?

Have u ever think about stop playing? why?
no, it has become my hobby. Have you ever thought about stopping poker?

#45 June 30th, 2019, 5:33 PM

Yes, when I'm in a cycle of bad luck, when I'm tired, deconcentrated, in a bad mood, nervous, and when I feel like I'm playing badly.

Because it is a game that I love, I enjoy the moments when I win and I take the defeats as new opportunities to learn.

So far I have not thought about stopping playing.

Greetings.

#46 June 30th, 2019, 5:41 PM

Never really thought of stopping poker yet... especially there's many freerolls now.
I have fun playing this game... Unfortunately, I have more loss than win.

#47 June 30th, 2019, 5:55 PM

I do not even think of stopping playing poker! It's a nice game to give up on it just because of bad bad luck or losing some money! I have enjoyed joy in poker, strong feelings, ambitions, expectations, thoughts, but most importantly I have won friends! So, my dear friends, I will never give up on poker and you! Good luck at the tables!

#48 June 30th, 2019, 9:56 PM

Sometimes, when the game is not all goes well, there are thoughts to throw poker. But: playing poker I feel great emotions, different emotions, good and bad. Poker teaches patience and discipline. I have had a case. Nobody at work played this game, just me. In my free time, I offered to play a friend at work. A month later, all the workers were playing poker. We had fun during the game, during the game we talked to each other. This means that poker brings people together in one strong team. This very well I believe

#49 June 30th, 2019, 11:14 PM

I guess everyone have thought about stopping playing poker for a reason or another, for me it was because I was not having the results I wanted to have but I decided that if I want to accomplish something I should not stop and I should keep moving forward and keep fighting for my goals so I did not stop but I've thought about it.

#50 July 1st, 2019, 3:19 PM

I and poker is inseparable things
