1. How much hours of real money poker do you play a week?
2. Why do you think you like playing poker?
3. What do you aspire to achieve from playing poker?
4. What do you hope to find on Cardschat?

1. On average, per week, zero hours because I don't have a bankroll yet I am newer to poker and I've only played small homegames (without money), poker video games and one freeroll event. However, I am learning a lot and I still play/study a lot of poker in my free time.
2. I literally got out of bed one morning and thought, "huh, I bet I could be good at poker." Seriously, that is really how I started. Psychology comes natural to me and has always been a topic I enjoyed; it was just recently I wondered how this would serve me in the realm of poker.
3. Short-term, I was planning on going to a casino for my first "big live poker experience" but then the pandemic hit. When it becomes safer and casinos fully re-open again (maybe Spring of 2021 at this rate since the covid second wave predicted to hit in the fall of 2020), then I plan on going. For the time being, I can just keep learning, practicing and improving my poker game.
4. When I joined cardschat, I actually did not know about the freerolls. I joined because I wanted to get better at poker and I wanted a poker community I could interact with in the forums. I googled various poker forum sites online and cardschat looked like one that I liked, so I created an account and here I am

 

[Normino]

1. 0-4 unless you include free rolls than 5+
2. I like playing poker for the thrill of the game and how intense it can become the emotions attached to it.
3. I have no expectations from it other than too enjoy myself I don't expect too win a WSOP or anything like that.
4. A good community to learn from, the 30 day course may help me with that, as I read some post here and still need to learn some of the terminology. i watched the first video of course so far and i did not know the seats on the table were named I only knew of small and big blind..

 

[emanuelorteg]

1. This month I was very active so I did about 6hr per day
2. As a beginner I really like the adrenaline rush of earning my first dollars
3. At the moment it is only a hobby that is taken more seriously by quarantine
4. Good forums to guide me through freerolls and win that precious first place

1. How much hours of real money poker do you play a week?
Since quarantine started I've been playing 15-20 hours of online poker per week. I'm a college student so normally during the semester I'll play maybe 2-4 hours per week, typically live. I think in the future I'll be playing a lot more volume online while still sprinkling in some live.
2. Why do you think you like playing poker?
I think I'm drawn to the math side of things and I love playing the odds. I've always been a math person and the idea that poker results are generated mostly from luck (I mean individual results like the outcome of 1 hand, not long-term success) is really appealing to me for whatever reason.
3. What do you aspire to achieve from playing poker?
I just want to get better at something I enjoy doing and it wouldn't hurt to make some money on the side, as I could always use more money.
4. What do you hope to find on Cardschat?
I join these types of forums to gain outside perspectives on all things poker and life related, and I like the community feeling that you get after spending a long time with the same forum community. I think there's loads of people on here that I can learn valuable lessons from and gain some new insight into life!
