For me poker is hobby and a way to perform some mental exercises, have fun and also win some money sometimes. Good way to relax and fill free time. :)

poker brings me a nice little entertainment value outside of everything else i do for a hobby/side hustle. it also makes me use my brain to calculate odds rather than sitting at home watching shows and being a vegetable. at least i'm getting some sort of workout. lastly i make money. my hourly wage is horrific compared to my full time job, but i wouldn't expect poker to ever match my hourly wage equivalent. i do make money with a good roi. if i can make money off some idiots who are just throwing dollars away, i'll take em. those dollars eventually turn into hundreds and eventually gets tripled when i get lucky like investing in btc through carbon poker. win win win.

The combination of luck and skill. You can play terribly and win, or play great and lose, but, over time, cream rises to the top.

I feel really calm at the table. Emotions go everywhere but when I'm forced to make a decision I'm suuuuper relaxed. I like the idea that I'm training myself to make good calls and if I can handle the chaos of the table, the world is no match.

For me because of math, probabilities and possibilities, I have no profession, but it's a nice pastime, it is!:ciao:

First place in any tournament is what I like most about poker. In addition, winning money is a nice bonus.

I still love everything in this game since the 1st day. but what I like the most is when I can anticipate my opponents' moves and make them think they have the best hand. You can make money and have fun playing. it's really the most beautiful game in the world.

What I love about Poker is the feeling of winning a tournament and also the feeling of hitting a 1 outer on the river! :D:D

I hope to not lose these feelings, I have seen pros play on Twitch and barely show any emotion after winning a tournament! :frown::icon_clow

I like the fact that anyone can play poker if they have a computer or a live cardroom to play in. In online you don't have to have a huge bankroll to play in some micro tournaments. I just really like the fact that anyone can learn and play poker.

It's a great distraction. Hard to think about other things while playing. I love solving puzzles and every poker table is a challenge.

The concept of "poker" no longer sounds like the name of the game, associated with whiskey and a cigar in his mouth, surrounded by sisy blondes. Today, poker is a job, a style, a billion-dollar business, and even a school of life...a four-Year-old moment that has become for many the fastest jump from ordinary "mortals" to people who have secured their lives through poker for decades to come.
