It is hard to get bored with poker because there are so many nuances and faucets to the game to dig into. I do get bored sitting at a table folding hands for hours and hours (live) but I entertain myself by pretending I am playing AA every hand and trying to figure out what I would do v the players that are in the hand by watching their betting patterns, opening ranges from different positions, ect. I don't have to do that as much online because I normally have 2 or 3 tables running (that seems to be my max right now). I know a lot of other people who get bored with the studying aspect of poker. For me, I really like that part.

bored with poker?

Yes, i get bored at times, when people run the clock down, taking forever to play, and having to fold over and over cause of the morons that go all in every time!!
But i usually watch you tube videos or do other stuff while i am playing poker, so i don't get bored. :)

For sure yes.
I think the freerolls give you a chance to see where you stand
Dont take it to win the 1st place.
But see freerolls as a practice for real money tourneys.
Once you feel confident you can achieve good results.
Then start playing tourneys with buyins and far more higher pay-outs.

In moments of desperation and moving, poker gets boring, but over time everything passes and again you find arguments to sit down at the table

You can get bored of anything. You just need to take some time off and find new meaning in poker. Some may say new motivation.

I think sometimes it can get boring when your not getting any hands and maybe only playing one table so to counter this I have been logging my hands in a notebook.

do i get board

there is times i get board with poker that i will stop playing and i will play a online game called war of thunder and some times i might stream it. or play magic the gathering.
I had been building my bankroll with patience and care, until I had to get all the money because I needed it. Now I have returned to freerolls but I don't feel the emotion I used to feel. The only game where I do is in the league. I guess in a way I get discouraged having to play three or four hours for $20.
And you, have you ever bored of the game?

Everywhere and in poker, balance is especially important. Keep a balance between poker and relaxation and everything will be fine.

Of play money yes. Of real money no, the stakes are just high enough to keep me attentive throughout the entire process.

A friend told me once figure out if you are a smoker and be it, stop torturing yourself by quitting and starting back. I am thankfully not a smoker. I think poker is like that, you are either a poker player or not. Thus said I am a poker player and did get bored that one time I went on a tear and never lost a hand, for weeks and could do no wrong, had everyone read to a T and won piles and piles of money..... NOT, never happen and so cant ever get bored. It is a constantly, learning, confusing, disappointing, exciting, depressing, enjoyable, torturous, and psychotically unfathomable activity all the time and hence never boring. Well for me at least.
