Poker is fun for me but the funniest thing in poker is when you win a hand. That makes me happy.
I like winning ten hands in a row and then flipping the nuts over when someone finally stands up against me all in.
I guess my kicks come from winning overall too
yeah losing stinks!!!!

Yeah I feel that I'll burn myself out fast sometimes.
I'll win 1st in a tourney and then just take a day off.
people be like confused as if its a hot streak and its gonna go away *luck

I am great at this game
even more so when Im truly interested in playing it

I love the learning process! I like to study, get an idea and try to implement the idea into playing.
Exactly!!! And what a great thing to do!
Ideas of your own can be the next GTO!!!

I try to take the good parts of the game where I feel good while playing and winning. Should the game be a burden to me? If that were the case, I wouldn't play anymore, I really enjoy the game and it relaxes me in the evening after a day of work. I'm not saying that it doesn't upset me when I take bad beats, but everything is part of the game, just like when we know that AA doesn't always win, if so, where would the sparkle of the game be?

I love to play poker, the more I play, the more I win, and my intuition also develops, I recommend playing at several tables.

It's fun when I'm running good and hell when I'm losing 2 out of 3 hands. Playing poker can be very stressful. Like when you get near the bubble with a short stack and catching nothing but trash and the blinds are killing me and all I'm thinking about is to catch that one hand to move allin with in order to double or triple up and be able to get into the money. But it should be fun so I'll say this and I'm done. When you see and feel it becoming much more than fun, step away from it at least a day or two. Believe me, it will be worth it. .

Poker is actually stressful to me. I am too tense, trying to win.

I have to admit my enjoyment of the game has been waning too. It's just no fun to lose so so so many hands when you start out the favorite. When the other guy flips over his A3o v my AKs I just sit here resigned to see the 3 pop up (and no K). Invariably it does by the river.

I'm not complaining, but I am losing interest.

Yeah I do enjoy playing poker. You can get unlucky, but that happens with any other game, I love the adrenaline of bluffing, outcarding an opponent, extracting max value out of someone and the best of all: making into the money.

Always. And I think that’s the key, because when you do something that’s not fun to you, you won’t give your best, but when you do sometinhg that’s fun for you, you give your best without noticing and this is really good for you

I just cant understand how people are enjoying playing poker.
Is it enjoyable watching a Random number generator until it says 1/221 ?
Is it enjoyable really?
waiting for aq+ to shove into your ak to dominate your opponent
or get unlucky with a shortstack and aj into aq
well whatever i dont get why everybody else is even playing this game
Whats the funnest part of this game to YOU!?
Poker is fun, easily accessed on line and offers a world of competition.
Through in the gambling and skill components and you might have the best game ever invented.
What other profession in the world can you sit right beside the best players in the world. No one wants to see me hitting balls at the Masters, but I might have a good hand or two against a seasoned pro on the felt.

Mabey you should check some of my rails.
You might just see the light at the end of the tunnel my friend and get out of the darkness of advanced exploitative poker

Poker is at the least fun

In my opinion I'd you can't or don't have fun. Your chances of doing well will diminish. As I always say almost 99% of my posts last sentence. Good luck on the tables and as always have fun. 😁lol
