Of course i believe. I've been watching my games and analyzing my decisions and I always find myself playing undisciplined. Poker is not about going all in with AA and beating whoever. Poker is a game of skill, mastery and luck (listed as I understand their importance). You will always have to apply the skill first and then have the self-control to wait for the moment to count on luck. This is the sequence. What happens a lot out there is that people rely on luck first and then try to gain self-control to apply the skill.
Of course, there are people who enter the world of Poker thinking that they are going to be unbeatable and become millionaires playing. For this person, Poker can be very frustrating (just like almost everything in life that we enter into without preparing). If this is your case, review your values and what you expect from Poker.

Luckily, I don't have to believe in it. I can hold it in my hand, see the positive results for myself, and engage w/others for profit. Whether you follow the GTO, ABC, or NGNF poker denominations the facts about this religion are unquestionably sound. Namaste. 😌

Of course yes. But you have to understand that poker is unfair and if you don't have emotional control and patience, you will always suspect something wrong online. That's why there is always variation, and that's what we have to believe in.

When I started playing poker, I thought that I could earn a lot of money, but now I realized that this is unrealistic, so now I play for my own pleasure.:)

I believe in myself). Poker is like any other sport, those who work hard achieve good results. Every athlete trains a lot in order to become successful. After training, you definitely need to work on your mistakes and find your weak points. Poker is not roulette in a casino), everything here depends on the actions of the player. In order to get something, you need to make an effort, this is how this life works. If something in life doesn’t work out, you always need to start with yourself and figure out what you’re doing wrong.

I believe in poker! Another question is, does poker believe in me? :ROFLMAO: Sometimes in some tournaments I feel like poker is on my side and I can fully realize my potential. But most of the time it's the other way around, and poker does everything to make me lose. :poop:

O jogo já dura cinco anos, mas com o objetivo de ganhar dinheiro este é o primeiro, e sim, ainda acredito.

Still plug away, if you get the run then you can cash easily enough. It’s not rocket science. 🚀

I believe in God. I just play poker for fun. If you had hopes that you would become a professional player or a millionaire, and you did not manage to achieve it, then this definitely does not mean that poker is a bad game. It means that you just had vain hopes :)

I have faith in poker, but have little faith in the clubs that make money off of poker.1

Of course, if I not have faith in poker still, I would stop playing.

Of course I've been playing poker for a long time and every day I like to play. Of course, I lose with a strong hand and my hands are weaker, but this is poker sometimes and we win with a strong hand this is how poker works and I hope that poker will be as interesting as before. We hope we can all make good money playing poker

I haven't finished playing up to the time intervals indicated in the topic, but after 3 years of playing, I still believe in poker and I don't know yet what can convince me of this.

Hello, of course yes, in all this time I have improved my game a lot, I think that if I play with myself, the one from before, who I think would beat me easily, it has not been an easy path for me. but little by little what I long for is coming true. It is a constant day-to-day struggle, but it is achieved and we must not lose faith. Before in a club tournament I did not reach the top 60 and from time to time I entered prizes, today I fight for the best 15 in addition to winning some tournaments.
It's great that there are people who are developing in poker, can you tell me exactly how you worked and with which programs to make your game a little better?

Of course, I'll always believe... I think it's been 10 years since I've been playing casually...

I've been playing for 18 years with more or less breaks. If I didn't believe in it, I wouldn't play.
Those who see it as a hobby always believe in it, otherwise they wouldn't play.

This question is very generic, but I'll try to answer it.

I've been playing for over ten years. From time to time I get a little tired of playing and stop for a few months, but then I start playing again with the same desire as always.

For me the answer would be yes, because from the beginning I always had a good understanding of the nature of the game. It involves luck, skill, among other factors.

So I have nothing to complain about. Playing poker continues to be one of my favorite hobbies.
