Have you ever regretted the time you spent playing poker?

Greetings!
Do you sometimes get the feeling that the hours you spent playing poker could have been better spent somewhere else?

 

[bermejoga]

Definetly! Specially when I lose in the bubble...

 

[VladB850]

Sometimes yes. So I decided that every time I can I will do something else and not play poker. In last months I reduced a lot my playing time

 

[pavel1111111]

no , never ...I simply love this game

 

[pansipos]

No. I have quite a lot of free time. I like to play.

 

[ga25x]

Many times. Especially on the weekends, when you quit some activities in favor of poker, but some idiot calls your AK, QQ, KK etc. 20 bb allin with T8o, after 9 hrs of playing tournament. For sure muppet hits some statistickly imposible miracle and you are left with mincash and no party...

 

[puzzlefish]

I think we will all feel that way at some point.

Never regret the time invested if you win or lose the tournament it will teach you how to play next time it's also a fun card game you could say

 

[Cooking]

Yes, of course. There are days that I spend 3-4 hours to win only a little amount of money or even worse, in the bubble position. But that's poker.

 

[Avangart1]

Never thought about it, for me the game is fun, so I do not regret it.

 

[redmast]

I regret spending my time playing poker only when I played for a long time but didn't win the prizes.

Yes sometimes. Especially when you play a big tournament and you sit there for several hours and at the end you fly out just before the bubble, this feeling appears especially strongly.

 

[RustyRed83]

Not particularly, especially not these days, as poker for me is a hobby and I have other things are prioritize before poker.

 

[paddyswarrior]

Yes sometimes but it's something I enjoy

 

[juan1579]

Poker time needs to be planned, especially for those of us who have work and children, but I have enjoyed every moment I have dedicated to poker. So I don't regret the time I spend on poker.

 

[PupsikCat]

From time to time, it happens at the table that thought visits, and you are already in the tournament

Great philosophical topic, friend! I think that every player should think about it. I think that for me personally, poker has given more than it has taken, and it's not so much about money. It's about ways of thinking. (Privet is Pavlodara!)

Hello
No, I don't have that feeling, poker is a hobby and hobbies eat up time

 

[efranto2286]

No way have I regretted the time I spend playing poker, since it's my hobby and my passion, and at the same time I get extra money, what more can I ask for?

 

[lauestla]

No, not really because poker is just a hobby and my priority always goes to my "real life" with friends and family. So no regrets because I never sacrifice one of them for playing poker.

Yes, I sometimes regret the time spent playing poker, especially when I play tournaments. Once I played a tournament with a $20 buy-in. Everything was going great, I'd been playing for about 6 hours, there were 2 players left to the prize zone and I was 100% in the zone, but one hand changed everything. I was dealt AK, I made a raise and everyone folded except for one player who went all-in almost every hand, so I didn't hesitate to go all-in. He showed AQ and, as you probably guessed, the last card was a queen. If I had won this hand, I would have been the chip leader, but it didn't happen and 6 hours of play just didn't bring any benefit. That's why I play cash games, it seems more reliable to me.

 

[Sicamous]

My only regrets are not playing more often! Love this game. <3

 

[Risto234]

No? Yes? But then again i am pretty sure such "regrets" are also coming in the future so

Definetly! Specially when I lose in the bubble...

what a terrible moment when we hit the bubble!!!

 

[yuriko oyama]

we have to accept that poker consumes a lot of time and sanity.
this is a fact.
