For me, poker is life. Everything found within this game e can attribute to life. The 2 go hand in hand. I sit within a casino for 50 to 60 hours a week playing poker. I do reflect on other things I can be doing. However, when treated like a job. My wife and I agree with the time spent. Building a safe bankroll took some time. However, with "our" rules in place. We seem to be managing just fine and haven't gone without in 5 years now.

I was a hardcore grinder when I first began. It was more about learning the game rather than BR, but I did ok. These days it hard to get a good day of poker, but I know this will change in the future once my children grow up.

Ive been playing poker since I was a kid, but it has always been strictly just for fun. I could never think of playing for need.

For me, poker is a pastime. Sometimes I win something. But I play for fun, not for the sake of winning. Maybe in the future I'll treat serious game of poker. But at the moment for me poker is a hobby.

I'm a disabled Nam Vet.
For 2 years I watched tv, went to the bathroom and ate,
I was chair bound and just vegged out.
I finally saw a WPT championship on PS and they said'
Join and play for free. I've played since 1960, home
games and at the bar next door where I played Yuker.
While playing another player, who liked my attitude and play
asked me if I would like to join a Poker Club, Railbirds.com.
She explained it's a Drama Free community and after all the
swearing and just bad manners I saw in regular games, I gave
it a try, I received a lot of greetings when I arrived, and in 3 mo.
Joined the League of Lizzards from around 10 different clans who
often played against each other. Didn't take long and I made the
beginning of lasting friends in the community, many still 8 years later.
Poker, and a good poker community saved me and took me out of
the depression I was experiencing during the disability.
I'ts always been a hobby for me, playing 5 sites, around 10 hours
a day for cash. I never had a month that cost me more than $60 total.
Couldn't get that much intertainment anywhere for that price.
Turned a $.18 6 1/2 hr. freeroll into over $500.
Yea it's important for me to play and be of service to other players
to give what I got, back.
Now on CC, I hope to share through Reflectons and Quotes from my old days to show my appreciation for being here. I'ts all about community for me as well as poker.
Have a blessed day and enjoy the game and each other...Namaste...jim

Thank you for your service. I'm glad that you have found Poker as one medium to connect with others. Sounds like you're a successful player, too.

Poker - entertaining game. But there are things much more important. Therefore, do not exaggerate.

Poker is a big part of my life. It allows me the competition that I miss from team sports I grew up with all my life. I am able to compete with others and try to out play, out last or out think opponents. Sometimes I do, other times I do not.... I just love the competition and the money ain't bad either...

Playing a game that cannot be mastered is so much fun and such a challenge. I enjoy both online and live!

Also, 1HotpepperIV - Thank you for your service!!

Good luck at the tables everyone!

Poker is not a pass time game

Poker is life.
Evaluate every situation in life as a poker hand.

Poker is for me in the first place.
There is no better feeling than when you get chips, everything else disappears for me !!
Poker we used to escape from everyday worries and problems.

its a fun pastime. It would be nice to make money too.

I like it, but it's pretty low in my priority list. However, I do seem to make time to play almost every day. lol

For me, poker is simply fun and games—I play recreationally for small amounts of money
