What was poker for you before, now, and how do you think it will be for you in a year, five, or maybe ten years?


For me, poker is a great hobby that helps to develop logic and thinking. This is also applicable in life.


After some time, poker has ceased to be just a game, and has become a small source of income, as well as thanks to poker I met a dozen, very interesting people.


Now for me, poker is the freedom of choice. A lot of poker branches help to be in the channel that suits you best.


The next few years I'm sure that I will continue to play for myself and my pleasure and pleasant bonuses, but I will never stop playing poker!


And what do you think about this?:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I played poker for the first time around 10 years ago in the university. At this time online poker was not regulated in my country and it quickly became very popular. I played mostly for fun in freerolls in small rooms (i4poker was one of them if i remember correctly) as well as pokerstars. At this time it was pure fun and i did not make any effort to learn or improve my game as i was not loosing any money anyway. After few months i simply did not have enough time and stopped playing.

Around 5 months ago i started playing again. I was on vacation trip in Peru and it included at some point 20 hours trip with bus. Bus was good but i had plenty of time to kill so i decided to check my old pokerstars registration. For my amusement account was still active and i started playing for fun money. In the last 2 months i decided to start playing more seriously and try to learn and improve my game. Finding cardschat was definitely good step towards this. for now poker remains hobby for me but i hope that in some point in the future i will also be able to make it profitable hobby. Definitely i like the game and do not plan to stop playing again soon.

Poker to me is something to keep my brain busy in my free time. I am someone who enjoys puzzles. Whether they are jigsaw, sudoku, cryptograms, logic puzzles etc etc I'll try them. When I found poker, I saw it like a puzzle that's nearly uncompletable. It's challenging, refreshing and at the same time it's more exciting than a good ol' puzzle. It gets the heart racing and the adrenaline pumping. I love the new hobby I found :)

in the beginning poker was just a fun, today is a great source of income and fun with friends, I hope that later I become a professional and can live with it.

It is just a card game to me, nothing more nothing less. Learned stud and draw as kid but played many other card games. Playing for money adds a small element from other card games but my approach is the same regardless.

Initially poker for me was just a hobby, over time this is showing me more and more that helps develop other skills such as concentration, focus and mainly mastery of emotions.
So today poker is no longer just a hobby to be a tool for development in all areas of life.

I agree with you totally. I love puzzles, brain teasers and such and poker is the ultimate because it is a game of imperfect knowledge and information. You need to know what your opponent is betting, pot size, how he has played similar hands before, odds that your hand is good or not and then make the best decision for that particular hand. Every once in a while you'll pull of a big bluff or win a huge sweat and get that adrenaline pumping as well. Thats why i play poker

I'm 72 years old, It's a hobby, past time and a way to earn a small profit every month. Took me years to get to where I can win a little cash. Doubt I'll be here in ten years. But I'll play as long as I'm able.

I only play freerolls, just for entertainment, the modest monetary incentive just makes the games competitive and interesting, unlike the play money games. In 10 years I see myself doing the same if the freerolls are still around.

I largely agree with you and I adhere to the same point of view! Poker is a hobby, it is a source of earnings, poker helps to develop, set goals and achieve them to become more confident in their abilities! In the end, poker is just a pleasant and interesting time! I really love this game and I hope that I will play it for many more years!:ridinghor
