Do you really like poker or is it pretending?

Poker has been the best thing I've ever known for 20 years. I wish everyone would discover this beautiful sport.

I do not hope that one day I will be rich playing poker, I just like poker as a hobby.

No, I genuinely like playing poker. The addition of money to it is just a form of spice to me, since Im playing for a particular reason, I have a certain goal. I never play with my money, hence I never feel the pressure of loss nor do I experince the burden of one.

I don't like it as much as when I started playing poker, only now I try to win money so I can make extra profits. Nowadays I don't enjoy it like before

I have no need to pretend, I enjoy the game and the extra money it brings... perhaps if you don't enjoy the game or have a "burden of losses" another hobby may be more suitable for you👍

There are differences in what people want but personally I am passionate about it. I like the feeling between chest and back when victory is close. If you play it because you hope to get rich, you will get frustrated because the goal is very far away, but if you do what you are passionate about Like me, the road is more fun, happy day.

Playing 20+ years and running I still love it.

But then I'm not grinding away everyday for hours and hours now days. When I play I have been known to play a lot though. Been known to double table quite a bit in the past and most times for 12-14+ hours. Don't play nearly as much now days but still love the game just as much.

Cheers!!!

I like poker, I'm not sure if what I like is winning money or poker itself, but I think I like both, poker is very entertaining, and when there's money at stake it becomes even more entertaining

Poker and other card games that involves winning and money, give a mix of emotions and thrills and that's why they are so catchy (even addictive).
The thrill of victory, accomplishment, beating the opposition, and not the last the cash... all those combined

I love poker, but sometimes the random number generator throws a bitter pill, and you're like, "Oh, not again."

I like to play poker, it's a good hobby in my free time, I see a good opportunity, but I'm not a poker fanatic.

often we live from the foolish hope that one day we will be rich playing poker, although the burden of losses is much greater
I never lived in the foolish hope that I would become rich through the game of poker. Maybe I'll be lucky, maybe not, Nevertheless, for me, poker is entertainment that brings me joy and satisfaction.
