There are times when I love it and there are times when I hate it.

I really like poker. It's great exercise for the mind. I have no grand illusion that I am some great player (not even good), but I do have fun and sometimes I win real money (which is fun, but necessary for my enjoyment).

I disagree, what do you mean by the weight of the losses? Losses serve as learning for the next game

I like poker. I always think it's fun to play live poker with friends. Of course I don't love poker 100% when I play online, specially because there are days we play many hours to lose to a bad beat, but there's also the good days when you win a tournament. Poker has ups and downs, like everything in life. I have many other boring options that I could do to win way much more money than I win playing poker, so, money is not the only reason why I play this game.

I love to play poker because it's like the lottery, but you get to use your brain. DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS.
Because I play online, and play micro stakes only, My hobby is good entertainment.
I really admire the PRO Players, IWOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY AT THEIR LEVEL. THEY HAVE NERVES OF STEEL.

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 don't expect to get rich playing poker. For me, poker is just a good way to have fun, nothing more. I do not have vain hopes and assess the situation quite adequately :)

play poker you have to love poker then the game will be fun and money The most important thing is to enjoy the game if all this is there, just play and enjoy the game if you have time for something else then spend time on other things where you will have more fun I love poker that's why I play even though I don't have much time to play I always find time to go to the forum

I really like poker.
I have no expectations of becoming rich through the game.
I play because it is still full of excitement, even after years of playing its a roller coaster that still thrills.

Generally poker is no different to any other job where you have to grow professionally to achieve success. Hopes to become a top manager have the same relevance as to become rich playing poker )

I like poker, I don't know why anyone would pretend to like poker and be here. I like to play and I like to win money.

I play poker for relaxation and have no hopes of becoming a professional player, it's a way to relax after hard days.

It's stressful pretending I like the game & very draining pretending I am good at the game.

I don't play with the idea of getting rich from poker, I play because I like it, if I win some money all the better (so far my balance is the same as at the beginning...I'm still with emotions and fun :) )

It seems to me that it is impossible to pretend for several years, if a person has been playing poker for years, then he definitely likes this game, I like playing poker and I am not pretending.

I like this kind of poker because you have to combine and be skillful, but sometimes I don't feel like playing.

I'm sure all of us can relate when we say even after a bad beat we can still be happy after thinking about a hand and that's how you know you love poker!

The answer is simple, Use play money and you won't lose a dime.
Even playing Freerolls does not cost you a single penny, so the answer is in your hands, If you are losing too much STOP!
