Poker vs. social life

[Toruk Makto]

What do you need to do when poker interferes with your social life? How do you deal with the frustrations that poker brings and keep playing?

I have no disappointments related to poker. This sport does not interfere with my life at all, and even helps me to some extent, I enjoy the game, adrenaline, and if I win, I also get cash prizes. If this game interferes with a person’s life and he is very worried about losses, then there are three options: work on your game in order to win more often, change your attitude towards poker and failures associated with poker, and the third option is to stop playing altogether.

In my case I can't to say, that Poker vs. my Social Life... I can to say by another: Poker and my Social Life are going near together!
This means, Poker doesn't interfere my Social Life, but reverse: Help, by my opinion!

Well my problem was my pc is in bedroom so when wife wants to sleep in evening I would click-click. I fixed it all by adding App on phone so there is that. Very happy with it now. I don't over do it as I can't handle too much of poker as I start playing it more by emotion then by reason.

Poker has zero effect on my social life...

Poker is life)

 

[Mag_P1e]

I remind myself that poker doesn’t care about me, so there’s no point in getting upset and swearing that it’s unfair. And of course, an evening with your favorite game, movie or book helps you relax well, forget about your disappointments and begin to love this game with new strength and experience. Good luck to everyone, never let external incidents ruin your day - the reaction to this or that event is always yours.

Sadly, playing poker tournaments is the major part of my social life so the two aren't likely to conflict with each other.

Poker can really disrupt your social life, because to get results you have to dedicate many hours at a time. But like everything in life, it's a matter of choice.

 

[MrPokerVerse]

Define priorities, if it is high on the list, everything else waits. Low on the list, social life come first. If it is at the top, might need to talk to someone while lying on a couch!

 

[lala123]

for me it's important that poker doesn't use up time for other more important things, it usually works well so it doesn't bother me. poker is always a pleasure for me so it is only positive for me to have this hobby

 

[Justfun]

If the game interferes with life, then it is better to look for other entertainment or learn more self-control to combine

 

[LaNimmer]

All my social life is poker, I play in friendly neighborhood poker tournaments with my friends and sometimes cash games. I work my family and pets needs around it. I mean there is always a poker game somewhere.

Unfortunately this year my life changed because I don't have time to play poker. Because of my working hours, I can't study or play poker as much as I'd like. I hope to be able to play poker again soon and be happy.

 

[Snake2007]

Poker is poker and social life is completely different. Everyone does what they want in life.

 

[Gallarado777]

poker doesn't interfere with my social life so I just play poker and enjoy this great poker game doesn't disappoint me because I love this game and even if I lose poker, I do my homework on my poker mistakes and continue to train hard at poker and improve my weaknesses and get better at poker

 

[23maxim88]

I haven't experienced that with poker. On the contrary, poker gives me more freedom in life.

 

[Alex Sentsov]

We need to try to combine this)

 

[kunkgreen]

What life?! haha ha
Here we only have poker... after winning the first 'Sunday million' we will be able to enjoy life! LOL

Jokes aside... currently I would say that poker has dominance over my social life, but we can live with the fact that I have already lived many things and intensely... so a brief break from the simple and pleasant things in life so that I can then enjoy them again in the near future!

It's easy, don't let poker consume your life,when your life begins to feel wrong because of that, maybe it's moment to take a break

 

[serj537]

Basically, I'm not complaining. The game doesn't interfere with my real life.

 

[pavel1111111]

my opinion always when you have to chose betwenn poker and any life activity , please chose the life

 

[vnnby]

I choose what is a priority for me, in this case there is less poker, and disappointment remains a thing of the past.

 

[Viking26]

When you can t control it it s an addiction.. Than you probabli shouldn t play.. 0

I think you need to decide what's more important to you, if it's poker or your social life. Nowadays, I choose to play poker only when I have nothing else to do. If I have a family (or friends) event, I choose to go to the event and play poker later. But if you depend of the money you win from poker then the history is different.
