Hi All Cardschat followers

It has been beautiful weather here in the UK and i have spent the day with family and then this evening, i cooked dinner and have had absolutely no poker play as i am resolved to never playing poker in the day when the weather is glorious outside.

What keeps you grounded with poker? What interests do you have that may compliment poker

It would be good to hear from you

I feel like you mean grounded from poker, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I pretty much only play poker when my family needs something, I get to grinding and once that monetary goal has been reached I get to "semi-retire" again :)

however whenever the weather is as nice as it has been for the past week (African temps), I go on STRIKEEEE!!!! :D

Hello.
I play poker when I have free time.
For example, on Sunday, I spend time with my family, and I rarely play poker.
Although, frankly speaking, I try to play every day so as not to lose shape and improve my skills.

Yes..

i refer to a life outside poker - when asked how much time do i spend playing, i often answer not enough, i do know that this will change as i will probably look to turn pro in the next 5 years so getting a balance is crucial if i am to be successful.

best wishes to you and your game

I spend a lot of time on vacation with my family and evenings, which I like to play only in the CC tournament.

Usually I play poker every day. Sometimes, if I have a lot of work, I can skip several tournaments. In addition, it is sometimes useful to take a break.

When I need to spend time with my family, I do not play poker, and I only play when I have free time, I play CardsChat tournaments in the evenings, but sometimes I make small pauses!

Euchre is a good complement to poker. When cards don't run well or I don't feel getting online, there are plenty of other hobbies to keep me busy.

It's so important to have a balance, not to allow game controls your life, your emotions. You should always be psychologically stable person to get this balance.

poker is an addictive game and it is very difficult for those who love to stop playing, the maximum that can happen is that I stay 1 or 2 days without playing and even then it gets crazy to play again.

What keeps you grounded with poker? What interests do you have that may compliment poker

It would be good to hear from you

It happens that I'm tuning to a freeroll all day. And then I put the allin with AK and I pour everything from the first hand. What keeps? The opportunity to get easy money and escape from real life. And everything, and still I like when I have a lot of chips. I put, and everyone folds - they are afraid and respect me. It's interesting to see at the table.

We have many days of the year, good weather. If I follow your example, I can not play poker at all.)) Only urgent questions or guests in the house can stop me.

At first I spent a lot of time playing online poker. I thought that I could become a professional and change my life and my family's life radically. However, my hopes were not realized and now I do not take poker seriously, because I stopped trusting online poker. I think that this is a fraud and you can not earn an ordinary person here. So now I'm not serious about this game and I spend very little time on this game! You are right, it's better to spend time with family, friends, go in for sports, walk or something else):rolleyes:

The possibility of earning money without leaving home is one factor that makes me play poker.

Live alone and only have my Nephew and his family as for as family goes. So playing poker is my life. I'm an introvert so it works out for me.

I like to read, play the piano, go golfing, watch Netflix. Poker exists only four days a week for me. After that I like to wind down. Hang out with friends and forget about it. It becomes taxing very easily if you don't give yourself an occasional 24 hour respite from it.

For me poker is just one of my different hobbies. I also like to go to a football games of my favorite team with my friends, tourism, traveling, astronomy or just to be with my friends or family so sometimes balance is rather tricky. Currently i usually play before going to bed in the evening and not every day even that is possible. Sometimes i also play during weekends but it is rather rare. Up to now i think that my balance is good.

I also have not been playing much poker because of the sun.

Not for the same reason's as yourself as I can't stand being in the sun, I want to shoot it out of the sky.

It is making me ill. I have had a tonne of headaches because of my sneezing and I am very dizzy and light headed a lot. I just want to hibernate till this stupid heat wave is over. I hate the fact that I have to go out and water my mum's plants 2 times a time. I just feel like blergh!!!!!!!

Hi.
For me poker is a favorite hobby.
I am sure that spending time with the family is the best choice you could make.
In the future, you will always have time to play poker.
Good luck.
