Love winning but hate losing. Probably because it is easier to recall what I lost with then what I won with in terms of hands. Maybe my expectations are set to high when I don't qualify in the top 20 percent.

Poker is an amazing game as any card can completely change the future of a round.

Poker is OK

I don't hate poker neither I love it, is just a game that allows me to spend some time in a competitive way without risking that much money.

before poker, I wasted lots of money trying to figure out slots at live casinos, but that is a no wining scheme, so poker although you loose sometimes you win others and overall spend my time with proper bankroll management. :)

When I get an Ace pair at a final table, heads up I love, but when I picked up a pair of Aces and give all-in and lose for a 3 3, I hate.

Neither...its a neutral element for me. I view it as a easier way to earn a income compared to working a 40 hr week job. I actually believe it can be a strong negative , to love poker or love any form of gambling where the luck element can be so strong.

I should elaborate that my above opinions really only apply to medium hi stakes poker games. For many people who play micro/ small stakes and can stay at those insiginificant levels, then I guess there is nothing wrong about loving poker as a pass time/ social experience.

I love poker. It's fun and makes me feel excited while playing. Even when I'm doing poorly I don't hate poker it's just frustrating. It's probably my fault if I'm doing bad. When I get sucked out then I get mad. But overall, poker is an awesome game.

Do you love or hate poker?

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.
