Has poker affected your relationships with other people?

[luckyfish98]

probably because it takes up a lot of time that could be spent on something else and of course sometimes you need money too and sometimes you need to ask other people for money

I think we somewhat distanced ourselves from friendships because of our commitment to poker.

My poker game does not affect relationships with people in any way, I have never borrowed money for poker, because I don’t play for big money, I play more for fun.

About the time it takes to play, I always plan my sessions in days that I have nothing to do. Even family silly plans should be more important than play.
Don't go crazy thinking that poker has to be your main income.
And I DON'T recommend asking for money.

I'm playing for fun. I don't want a lot of money. So I don't have a problem with my friends and acquaintances.

In fact others ask me instead ...

When I started to play poker, I used to spend much more time playing and sometimes I had missed some family meetings because I was playing poker. Nowadays, my family/friends time always come first and I only play poker when I have nothing else better to do.

Hello everyone. Yes, perhaps my hobby has influenced my relationships with some people. I have also made new acquaintances, and there are even more of them now. It even seems to me that old acquaintances look at me with some envy when I discuss poker news, game strategies, recall my gaming moments, and listen to stories from new friends. In a way, it's easier for me: I don't have a family, and only a few old comrades see that I watch and read more about poker than other worldly news.

You can't let it affect anything about yout life, play it as a hobby, when it starts to affect life it is bad

I'd rather waste time on poker.
Maybe one day luck will be on my side and I'll win the big prize
