Every aspect of the game fascinates me. The math, the strategy, the lifestyle, the excitement of a hand holding up (or sucking out as it were), the whole damn thing. I play because I love poker (and have loved poker for a very long time, only recently did it occur to me that I could learn strategy and actually make it profitable for me), and because it seems like the absolute perfect career path for me. No boss, no hours, no office. I can live wherever the hell I want, go wherever the hell I want, and do whatever the hell I want. Plus it strongly appeals to the math nerd in me.
LOL you should really try golf online , it involves a lot of math, and other variations that real golfers have to cope with !!!
My better half gave up poker in lou of his golf , and he is now obsessed ! It takes a lot more of math and skill then poker. Our computers are side by each , we play tunes and he plays golf and I play poker - it is funny actually. You can check it out on wgt.com , me I still love Poker !

Haha, I've actually played a couple times. Very hard in my opinion, I don't play it that much at all. I assume if you practiced it a lot you could become pretty good at it (...similar to everything, I guess)

I play poker because I enjoy the game and the swings that come along with poker, like being able to get on a heater or getting ice cold.

I have been poker for only two years, slowly but surely I played a small plus, I play mostly mtt"s sometimes in the spins, but the last month is extreme, I lose all the exposition, I'm always older at the base, I only play pokerstares. It seems to me have disconnected winnings

I am going to get loaded, become a shareholder in a few corporations with my winnings and then dominate the business world. Following this, I shall proceed to do what charities think they do. I will open businesses in poor nations and really offer impoverished people careers, ones where they work to train and gain qualifications on the job to truly progress further. If they want to be a politician in a nation where only the rich can be it, I will fund their campaign teach them how to write and speak eloquently, when they are in power I will influence their entire nation and make sure it stays uncorrupt as I will have the funds to out-fuel the greedy and keep away the scumbags who would influence with their cash for sinister purposes.

I will cleanse this world as best I can and I am not gonna be some puppet on a string with a Master's degree (US call it Major) working for someone who owns the business just because they got richer before me who owes too much to my university to ever make it in this world financially. I will have people smarter than me, harder-working than me and maybe kinder hearted than me working beneath me with no glory because they chose the ordinary path in life.

That's the truth. I want to be the villain of the villains. The hero of this disgusting Earth using greed for good.

I play poker more for sport, for a pleasant time, I have no real intentions of becoming a poker pro.

While playing poker I get a lot of emotions. Among them, it's fun, adrenaline and rivalry. Feel like a winner is always nice.

strictly a recreational player. If the money becomes important, time to do something else.

"To crush my enemies. See them driven before me. And to hear the lamentations of their women."Nah, as a former adrenaline addict, it's nice to do something that juices up my old disabled carcass.

Time killer really and keeping the brain active, money and bankroll improvement helpful in moving up levels.

Make it fun even when Q6 and 4-8 call and take you down 🤔 I guess we all like to mix it up 😃

I would like to earn money not to engage in activities that you are not interested in just for the sake of money. I hope in time I will succeed. And also poker brings me good emotions that do not compare to anything

firstly it is very fun to do what you like and relax at the same time...in the second if refers to poker as additional income then there is motivation to improve the game tends to always be first

I play poker because I enjoy playing, because I like to compete, because it's the best card game that exists and because I can make some money ...:)
