That is a good question, because it's really a love/hate relationship for many players. One day it's one and another day it's the other. So poker is really just something I do, and everyday I try to improve my game. It's kind of like work, and sometimes that takes the fun out of it. I love poker for the money and excitement, and I hate poker because I can't have it that way all the time and there are many losing days.

I love Poker Because One Im a Gambler I bet on everything doesnt matter..
But there is a Love Hate Relationship with poker I Mostly Love it I try not to care about bad beats and I just broke my losing streak last night i been playing like garbage this month mostly cuz i think im burning myself up on it. At least thats what I think... but also people can ruin poker to some extent because everyone has been at the table with the pro talking trash I dont let trash talking effect my game but boy does it hurt when they take u out with garbage and talk more trash lol

As we move on from high school and college sports, I think many of us still yearn for competition. Poker is a safe outlet to satisfy that urge. Making a few bucks while doing it is an added bonus!

I was an athlete my whole life through college. Now that I'm working I find the competition along with the money (money or having something at risk is important) is the closest feeling to playing in state championship or national tournament. I also enjoy Gin, Daily Fantasy Sports, and Fifa for money.

I love it for the fun and the money too. I also enjoy the competition aspect. It's something you literally can compete in until the day you die. From my time spent playing in Biloxi for years I knew several regulars in their 80s, 90s, and 100s who came to play almost every day until the time they passed away.

I dont really love poker, I just find it entertaining on a saturday night when I have nothing better to do lol. Though I do like the control I have in outcome as opposed to other dumb casino games like roulette

I love poker because of the competition. It combines some many different things. There is strategy, storytelling, reading, psychology, the list goes on and on. I cannot really participate in a lot of competitive sports anymore but I can in poker and I love to compete, no matter the stakes I am playing for. I have mentioned in a few posts that I am a lawyer and I use those same skills competing in the courtroom (although this is a game and there it is peoples lives..well, not literally, I don't do crim law any longer). Poker keeps me sharp at my job and I think my job keeps me sharp at poker. Funny thing is, I used to hate poker even though I was super lucky. I have another post on here about how I got into poker because of a girl (it's in the What do you think of girls in poker thread, if your interested), but I thought it was all luck. It wasn't until she taught me the game and the strategy and odds and reading players and...well, you get the idea. That I fell in love with the game (more than the girl, who is living somewhere in Indiana with a dork she met on WoW).
