By the time I play poker just as a hobby, therefore I can not say it changed for the better or for the worse in financial matters. I have no extraordinary profit yet, I play the less than a year.

Poker has not changed my life. The game is a distraction from the hustle and bustle, amuses me. But while I have little free time.

For me poker is a hobby, the main change in my life is that I switch from live Casino slots to poker and that way I have save money since there is no way to win Casino slot machines :rolleyes:

Poker has definitely changed my life. Kinda of strange but it has made me more social person, makes me analyze things, and def helps with decision making.

Poker has not still changed my life, money wise, but in terms of focus, patience, always ask why, better connect things to get the full story, people reading ability, on those terms i have to say a lot, its far easier to me now and thats thanks to poker, to trap a person lying then before :D those side looks, fast high pitch speech :D and u put on the pressure by questioning him/her till it cracks :D

Poker has made many positive changes in my life, although it is has also consumed a lot of my spare time (but I'm okay with that!).

1. In playing poker, I have learned how to read people, which I have found useful in daily life in understanding how others might be thinking/feeling and responding accordingly. I'm kind of an awkward person, so this has helped me to be more comfortable in social situations because if I can read people, I can adjust to better relate to them.

2. Poker has become a part of my identity (in that people associate me with the game), which has afforded me valuable opportunities like organizing charity tournaments, getting invited to play or deal at events, etc.

3. As a university student, I have learned to use poker to assist with time management. E.g. If I want to enter a tournament, I'll set goals/deadlines for what I have to accomplish to reward myself with playing. Poker is also great for stress relief :)

For better or for worse? LOL jk It has made me look at another option for another job/hobby! I have also taught many people that did not have much to do, to get into poker and be more of a enjoyable and making money type of hobby.

poker for now is not something significantly changed life, except that fill their free time here at the tables, but slowly delve deeper into the world of poker, chardschat helped me in deeper into this world, I won 2 freerolls, and a couple of times I was at the final table, I had little appetite stepped up and I hope that we will hang for a long time
