One of the most satisfying things for me is when I actually execute a strategy or concept that I've studied and watch it succeed in real live play. For example, I had been studying a lot about short stack play and the importance of "re-stealing" the blinds when your stack is getting short. Shortly afterwards, I played in a tournament where the player a couple of spots to my right was raising in LP a little too often. It was quite successful for him, but he was ignoring the fact that my stack and the stack of the guy to my left were getting close to the perfect re-stealing size. Over the next several orbits, we re-stole his raises probably 5-6 times and I went on to cash in that tournament. No matter how much you read/study concepts, nothing beats actually experiencing them in real poker play.

All I have to do to get 'free money' is use my brains.

p.s. that's what I call a no brainer

I love that someday I will win enough money to travel the world. One aspect that I like and dislike is that absolutely everyone can win a huge amount of money, regardless of preparation.

What I like most about poker is also what makes it the most frustrating. Playing a hand absolutely correctly but not getting positive results. Makes it a huge challenge and most rewarding when things right.

I like most in poker, that it is like a battle, where we decide our moves and we take the burden of our decisions!

I like to compete against really good players and after a certain point it is a game of leveling if I say it correctly!

When you know that every pre flop , post flop action will get analyzed and assessed by your thinking opponent.This is where you need to work with your frequencies and try to be balanced if you play against a good player.I am a rec but this is the stuff I like the most about this game!

Hi.
This is a strategic game in which 80 percent of success depends on the player's skills, experience and patience. And this is what I like most in poker.
Good luck.

One of my all-time favorite things about poker is that every player truly has the freedom to play however they want within the rules.

I remind myself of this everytime I suffer a badbeat. Well, my opponent thought that was a good idea and how can I not want their action? BUT, they hit their out!

Good luck !

The most interesting factor of Poker for me is the analysis, concentration, and strategy, it is a battle between many to achieve a goal using their knowledge and also their luck, it is a sport and like any sport when you win you have that feeling of great satisfaction.

Good day

I like his secret influence in poker. Poker takes an active part in my life. I noticed a change in myself. I calmly go with my wife to the shops, patiently waiting when she chooses to buy. I include Pokerface, when I point out a car in a different place. I became balanced and sociable ! Thank you, Poker !

Love the competitive nature of poker and knowing anyone can win any given hand J.

Sometimes all you need is a chip and a chair!

I remember when I first won the tournament. It was an amazing feeling and it was not even about money (since it was an inexpensive tournament with a value of 0.11 and I won only $ 33) but the fact that I could do it. Now I want to feel this feeling of victory again and again !!!

The chance to meet all sorts of people in live games that is. You see a lot of interesting people in live poker games. People are what makes the game in my opinion.
