These are some of the aspects that attract me to the game of poker.

  1. Skill and Strategy: Poker is a game that rewards skillful decision-making and strategic thinking. Players have the opportunity to analyze situations, read opponents, and make calculated moves based on their understanding of the game. The combination of mathematics, psychology, and risk assessment can be intellectually stimulating and satisfying.
  2. Competition: Poker offers a competitive environment where players pit their skills against each other. The challenge of outsmarting opponents and coming out on top can be exciting and fulfilling for many players. The pursuit of becoming a better player and the satisfaction of winning can be strong motivators.
  3. Social Interaction: Poker is often played in a social setting, whether it's at a casino, home game, or online platform. It provides an opportunity to engage with other players, discuss strategies, and enjoy the camaraderie of the game. The social aspect of poker can enhance the overall experience and make it a fun and enjoyable activity.
  4. Psychological and Emotional Elements: Poker involves understanding human behavior, reading body language, and making accurate assessments of opponents' intentions. The psychological aspect of the game, including bluffing and deception, adds an element of excitement and challenge. Additionally, managing emotions and maintaining a calm demeanor in high-pressure situations is crucial for success in poker, which can be a valuable skill in other aspects of life as well.
  5. Potential for Rewards: Poker offers the possibility of winning money and other prizes, especially in tournaments with significant prize pools. The potential for financial gains can be a motivating factor for many players, but it's important to approach poker with a realistic understanding of the risks and the fact that results can vary due to luck and variance.

I love to win at poker. I love it when, on my part, this or that distribution led to success and I was able to win the distribution with my actions

I will say I have such a love/(I won’t say hate)...but /dislike for poker. It is truly a game that can make you the happiest person.. or rather have the most enjoyable feeling of endorphins..to outright complete anger lol ..Luckily I learned how to control that anger and brush it off..it wasn’t easy..took a lot or hands and a lot of books(one that helped me greatly but I am not here to name drop etc for this thread as I am not a book promoter)...but what drives you back, and has a special place in your heart for the game?
I am the same. Love the game, and I don't mind getting a bad beat once in a while. But getting rivered out of 3 tourneys in a row really gets my blood pressure up...

It is a sport that makes me feel emotion, anger, desire to evolve and that makes me think about making big decisions in a short period of time.:ah4::kh4:❤️

What I like most about poker is everything. I think it's a very engaging game because of its strategies and the concentration you must have to get the best out of yourself.

What do I love about poker? the excitement of the game, making a hero call when I lie and they fold to fold a good hand well although sometimes it's the other way around and you feel like a jerk but that's all the nice. meeting people, enjoying the game with friends. it also makes you feel all kinds of things good and bad . Sometimes in love with poker sometimes want to divorce :)

Everything on the game, but the most one is that the main mechanism of the game is the money!

Hey, what I like about poker is the odds, they can actually give you some big streak, just after getting a terrible one, if you can take advantage from the good ones, you will have positive proffits in the long term.

Competivity, endorphines if you succeed, the prospect of winning some money and get better and better in this...
But when the dislike gets too much, take a break and go outside do something else :)
