Very exciting.

I think what excites me the most is when I win playing with the flop cards. Although I have had a bad hand. If the flop presents an extraordinary hand, you can bluff very well with it. Winning like this is exciting.:D:cool:

Hi all!

It makes me feel good to pay attention to the game, to take every tournament as a challenge but it must accompany the success if it does not become boring and tedious!

Anytime I make it in the money playing in tourneys makes me feel good.

For me just playing the game of poker makes me feel great most of the time. But what is really great is when I sit down to play in a really good tournament at the casino. There just something special sitting at the table and rifling the chips that just puts me in a happy place.

I feel really good when I call a hand that I think they are bluffing...and I am right!

Pleasure is when a pair of twos, but you feel that the opponent has nothing - he bluffs and goes Allin. You answer and you're right. What book or poker coach will teach you how to play like this?

A lot of traffic on this site deals with feeling bad about certain aspects of this game.

I got sucked out on when I was winning.
I got bad beat.
I got it in good and lost on the river.
It's rigged!
Bots
I lost my entire bankroll in less than 4 hours.
etc etc.

I'm interested in finding what unique aspects of this terrible/awesome game - players find enjoyable.
What are certain aspects of the game that are euphoric?

I play tournaments exclusively. Generally I really enjoy playing the game of poker. Even with all the negative stuff that every player has experienced, even when getting 2 outed on the final table bubble, even when my Aces up boat gets destroyed by quads - I still really enjoy playing poker.


Certain aspects of the game bring greater enjoyment to me - much more than just the general, every day enjoyment I get from playing the game.

I receive great pleasure from
1. Winning hands vs passive, slow playing, trappy players.
2. Making an instinctive winning hero call on the river when the math say I should fold.
3. Folding a strong hand A/Q+, 99+ preflop and not regretting it.
4. Correctly avoiding the temptation to shove on the flop when I flop the nuts.
5. Making a crying call pre/post based on notes I have taken - and being correct.
6. Collecting chips from and/or busting players who play overly aggressive.
7. Of course final table.
8. Of course - finishing top 3.


What are some aspects of the game that bring greater pleasure to you - beyond the general enjoyment of playing the game?


There are lots of things about poker I enjoy (why do we play otherwise?), but the most enjoyable aspect for me is pitting my wits against other players over a prolonged period of time and coming out on top.

Reviewing my game, even when I have lost and seeing that I have mostly been making the right plays, but also recognising when I have made a mistake. This makes me a better player than yesterday and that is really satisfying.

Usually what me feel good when playing poker is when I make a good bet or call. Regardless of the outcome of the hand making the right decision let's me know that my game is improving however, winning the hand makes me feel better..😆

I agree with you and feel the same about poker. I love a really good competitive poker game. What makes me feel good is when I make a good read on a player. Online is really tricky because there are no physical tells for you to cue on.

it’s a very nice feeling when we arrive at a final table.
and when a risky bluff passes
when after itm i get a pair of aces on the button and three partners come all in before the action hits me
