I love poker. Probably, If I hated it I wouldn't discuss it here. Your words sound strange: if people hate something they just don't do it.
No true at all. Many people hate things, and do it everyday of their lives. For example, their jobs ...or their relationships.
I do not run lucky enough in poker { week after week} to love it. It is a disciplined grind for me. I sit at the table and see so many poor players , who go on long lucky streaks and win, when I know they should be losing 90% of the time they play . When a poor player is running very lucky and a good player is running very unlucky , I find it annoying that the poor player gets rewarded so often. In fact, im the type of player that if I knew ahead of time , before each session that I was not gonna be a decent winner of money, I would completely be able to stay at home and not play that night . I would be able to do some other more enjoyable pass time . I play to win money..first and foremost. Even when I do win , I realize that the next several poker sessions, I may run badly, with cold cards and bad beats that cause me to lose money . Any type of hobby where luck plays such a prevelant role and is bound to make you lose your cash, is a hobby I do not want to fall in love with.
