Let's not kid ourselves, we only have fun when we win. When we lose, we don't get paid and almost always get negative

I haven't played poker for fun in a long time. It is, in fact, my additional form of income (and in the current conditions of unemployment in Ukraine due to the war, poker has become my main source of income). At the same time I can't afford to spend real money (for example, on rebuys and addons), because now every dollar is of serious importance in my difficult financial situation.

At present, poker serves as a form of entertainment, disrupting the monotony of daily life. However, ever since I became a member of CardsChat, it has transformed into a source of not only recreation and amusement but something more profound. The community members here inspire a commitment to approaching the game with a heightened sense of seriousness about learning. Perhaps, when my bankroll (accumulated from freerolls) permits, I might even consider pursuing this as a genuine endeavor.

Poker can be very addictive, especially when you win, you get a natural buzz, from winning at any form of gambling, the body produces Dopamine when you get excited, and it is very easy to get addicted to it, that's why some people get high from fairground rides at amusement parks.
The poker sites on-line are like the Drug pushers, because they know the higher you are, the more you will gamble, even the casinos make you walk past all the slot machines to get to the Poker room simply because of all the bells and whistles, and all the flashing lights become an attraction to play the slots! Especially if you see someone win, because you think "hey! I could be doing that!"
I consider myself to be lucky in the fact that I can control my addictions whether it comes to Drinking, Smoking, or Gambling. I have never Drank to excess because I know my limits, Smoking I quit 10 Years ago, and as for Gambling, I never bet more than I am willing to lose.
Many people suffer from headaches when they leave an Amusement Park or Casino, and it has nothing to do with all the noise and flashing lights, it's your body coming down from the Dopamine rush, learn to control it and you can make better decisions.

Do people study poker? Or do you actually play just for fun? the answer is both, there are players who study and others don't, it will depend on what you want with poker for your life, is it a hobby or a profession? then you will know if you are going to study the game or not
