I play poker for fun but when I lose I get very upset and deposit again. At that time I couldn't control my own emotions. Please give me advice!

Home games I play for fun. It’s a social family get together.
Vegas I play for money. It’s a war.

Don’t forget you are playing for fun. So have fun with it. It’s a hard game to win consistently so don’t get caught up in the emotions, it’s just a game. When you start playing more serious then you will have to get the emotions under control. You will have to get to the point where loosing a pot just becomes part of the game. You just forget about it and move on. Good luck!

I definitely play for entertainment. But even at that, less and less. I still read and you tube poker and only play freerolls now. It was never about the money, now even less so. You need to be at least a good poker player to make money, for me it has always been an exercise for the brain, I never was and never will be good enough to go beyond entertainment. A dream maybe, just like winning the lottery.

I play both for fun and to make a very small amount of money as I mostly play freerolls.

I started playing Poker for the money. Over time I saw that it is not so easy to make money in Poker but by then I had already been conquered by Poker. Today I play for fun and try to make some money. Generally the money I earn from Poker I invest in cryptocurrencies, but there have been a few occasions when I have used it to cover unexpected expenses.

I play tournaments for fun because I enjoy participating in competitive events. The money is the medal/trophy you win for placing in the event.

I play for fun. I see my money as a score that i am constantly trying to improve. The better i do each month, the more i get to play the next. The higher it gets the bigger staked the games i get to enjoy.

For a little bit of cash. It’s a big of a drag playing for 4 hours and losing KK to J4 off suit. I don’t find that enjoyable. I find the tournaments are too slow, time banks are too long.
