Yeah sometimes I'm starting to think that poker isn't for me. I deposit weekly and lose $300-$400 every week. I love to play but cant seem to win anything big

Poker is a fickle pastime. In order to get better at poker you must lose. If you are losing money on poker, your likely not going to want to continue to play. Like any other skill it takes dedication, time, money, and effort. Only those that are persistent get rewarded.

I enjoy playing poker but it is a cruel game sometimes. Will always play recreationally with hopes of one day being able to play more....on pokerstars...

When I lose, of course, I get frustrated and there are times too, I think that poker is not mine. But a little time passes, I calm down, I understand that everything needs to be studied, not one person in the world was born a super specialist in some kind of business. The road will be mastered by the going-and I go further!:burnout:

Yes, when I first learned about poker, I did not think that I was so attached to him, I think it's necessary to pause, or at least reduce the number of hours per game per day, so as not to go into depression, this game sometimes makes you get into it.

if you at least once playing with 10,000 players entered 100, you will never say that poker is not for you, if you did not succeed then?

It's a shame we were stuck with this thought because in poker and in everything you do in life, success is always more related to how hard you try to achieve your goals, even if it takes longer than expected to get results.
Good Morning ! When I saw the first poker found it easy to master the little game over the long term is not like I thought it was, this life so easy it's nothing we have dedicated as much as possible is always one step more on the other players study hard to be a big winner in this game.

Never thought about it. I always liked to play poker despite the results I show. Poker for me now is the hobby and passion number one.

Sure, everyone ponders it.

We have all had our game play kicked in the dirt and it hurts. What is particularly rough is when you are on a lengthy downswing. Nothing will make you question what you are doing more than that. The hardest pill to swallow in poker is not getting rewarded for making the right decision. Multiply that by happening a lot over a short period and you have a recipe for disaster.

When the tough times roll in all you can do is stay positive and think of all the good times and reflect on the decisions you got right. :D

I’m sure we all have been there once or twice. Poker is a hard game it’s only normal to get frustrated.

the mathematics is that clear ... for example in a tournament of 1,000 players there are 999 losers and only one winner .... those 999 players suffered from BadBets, SlowPlay, etcetc
i'd call anyone who makes the money a winner. and no, i've never thought poker isn't for me. i love to gamble.

I think that all were visited by such thoughts. because everyone dreamed to win big prizes and perhaps dreamed to become the professional of poker. but reality such that there isn't a lot of champions, as well as in any business. but nevertheless poker for us. we love this game.

Well actually, I have not asked myself that question, but since I take poker more as an entertainment that I play from time to time, I do not need that question in me.

Gotta keep on keeping on

I struggle when I bust out early or make dumb moves. When I'm chip leader and I donk my chips away or when I do everything right and still suffer a bad beat from bad luck. But I absolutely love the game and don't see myself quitting.

I like card games in general , it's only natural I got in to poker.But saying that I have never liked or got into gambling besides poker.

People say poker is 70 percent skill 30 percent luck ect . So in that quote poker is 70 percent for me

I love to play poker so I didn’t have such thoughts that poker is not for me, even if I play badly, but I just love to play.
