Do you think poker add more to your life, or rather take away more?
If you say so, what features would you name?
Poker is a big
+ in my life. My local game w/ friends shut down a few months ago and I realize now how important it was to my enjoyment.
The money I win is just part of a score card to me. That takes a lot of pressure off and I perform better.
I also played backgammon, cribbage, gin, for money.
I'll even compete in skill events, like shooting hoops, for money when I know I'm an underdog.
I don't need the bucks, but I do need the entertainment.
