I try to play poker in my spare time
But because of the length of the tournament, it's hard to know when to finish
Sometimes it happens that I change some things because playing poker
I love to play poker, but sometimes it affects my private life
But since I much like poker, I will leave things as they are ;)

No...i choose the right time to play.....because if u woory about time....u don t win

Poker takes time, this is obvious, but what really negatively affects your life is your poor time management and not necessarily poker, you could waste a lot of time doing anything other than poker if you do not know how to manage your time.

Basically, I'm trying to find a compromise between my personal life and poker,which means I have to take time away from sleep! Though I rarely play,so combine the pleasant with the useful!

For me it was difficult to reconcile my relationship with poker because sometimes my ex girlfriend did not understand that the tournaments took a long time and was very angry with this, now that I am no longer dating I have more free time so poker is very handy since it is My favorite hobby.

Poker as a form of entertainment and I do not like it does not spoil. And people who have passion illness can ruin lives

I am widowed but when my husband was still alive I had a schedule and he knew when I played and did not have a problem with it. Now I am single I play when I want to. It does not affect my private life.

Poker is a big part of my life.

For me poker does not have any impact on private life.

I have enough free time to play poker.

This is kinda where I'm at too. I love playing poker so that will never change. But it is important to manage your private life and make sure you make time for your family and friends! If you are playing tourneys, this can for sure be difficult, make sure your people know. Keep them updated with what your poker life is up to and let them know you love the game and this makes you happy. Just don't keep them in the dark, this should help things go more smooth.

I believe that at some point poker conflicts with the personal life of every player, whether recreational, or professional. If we analyze well I believe it affects the life of the recreational player more than that of the professional that takes the game out of their livelihood. I have tried to better reconcile poker with the other areas of my life so that there is balance and discernment for each thing distinctly. My wife does not play, but understands that this is part of my life and supports me so that within a planning I can get at least my four hours of study and play a day. I think the great question is how to reconcile one thing and another so that there is no wear and tear on both.

What happened in the 5 minutes break stayed in the 5 minutes break. So, no.

now at the moment it does not affect as much as I can manage to devote my whole day to poker. But when I worked I did not have much time to play tournaments, so I played a few sits in the week and left the tournaments just for the weekend.

I think it’s the other way around, my personal life usually ends up interfering with my poker life.

poker definitely affects your personal life, but you need to be able to prioritize, if poker is money, then you need to give it time as a regular job, if it is a hobby, then you should not forget about your loved ones and give them time, all the same, hobby is just a hobby people more important

Yes, sometimes when tickets are available for certain games. Or continue stepping. Then you have to reserve the time for it.

No poker don't affect my private life . But sometimes it make me very sad


You might be playing beyond your means, I don't know your personal situation but if it's affecting your mood you might be playing out of your means
