Poker is my distraction from everything that happens in the day, in the country and in the world, since I concentrate on playing and I forget everything. However, I do not play as much as I would like
I play about 2x a week -- sometimes 3x -- and each session is a good few evening hours. I don't think I could play every day . . . . think I'd lose interest in the sport of it and it would feel like automatic drive.
When I first started playing poker, I played every day. But now I come once a week two. I do not know if interest may be lost, maybe I just get tired at work, but I have no special desire to play. I'm in a freeroll club, and I play probably a couple of times a month.
Well, i kinda have to, paying bills and rent from micro stakes but also having ambition to move up, its no other choice, but the thing is, somehow i am not addicted to it, and that is something positive
I play almost every day, because it is a game I like very much. It combines characteristics like a battle and it is entertaining. I have choosen games and hours that cannot be missed easily!
I often play every day, but sometimes if I fell my form is not good, I will go somewhere alone or with my friends for pleasure, it is not good when sitting in front of a computer all days.
Depends. There are periods, like 2-3 months a year when i play every day for too many hours. But usually i play every 2-3 days. But if you are just starting and need to learn, you need to play every day and try to improve your game.
When I was first introduced to poker, I played everyday but that also included reading articles on how to play, watching poker videos and watching poker tournaments on TV including signing up here at Cardschat.
I realized later on I was almost...no.. totally consumed trying to learn the proper way to play...if there is such a way... I finally had to figure out is this worth continuing??
I decided I was not really getting the hang of this game and I was also not able to control my anger when I lost to a bad beat. I was also gaining weight during this so called learning curve.
One day my wife mentioned she was looking at loosing weight and it was at that moment I also agreed to go along with her. It was the best decision I made. I lost 80 pounds and went from a size 44 to a size 36 and almost 2 years later I have maintained my size 36.
It was a lifestyle change commitment we made together. Now I play for recreation only. I also made a commitment not to spend any of my own hard earned money, so I just play the freerolls where I can and limit my playing time.
You know you are not addicted to the game when you can leave in the middle of a game..which I have done many times now.
play all day, play all night...seems to be no end in sight. Get pocket Aces, playm right.. if they bust n get cracked then call it a night a nudder lil rhyme from a poet that didn't know it....lol...gl at the tables
