Why exercise my mind. And everyone feels good doing something that you're good at. Although there is stress in decisive moments, it does not compare to any other game.
I am unemployed at the moment, so I play a lot because it helps to occupy my head and also at the moment this being a form of income, but my goals with poker are much bigger, I hope to become a professional soon
Poker is my passion. I like to think and make decisions during the game. Feel of superiority over others is priceless when you make right choices. And, of course, money is an additional motivation.
I first started playing poker for the love of the game like most people probably do. Then when I realized I could make an income from it, and play it from anywhere in the world, that was a game-changer for me.
I play it for the money and at the same time i enjoy it. Its a beatifull game and my dream is to go to some huge live event and making it to the finals and im gonna make the dream come true. In a few years im gonna come back here and you will see.
Texas Hold em in particular is the most fun I've ever had playing cards! When I was shown the number of outs x4 at turn, and x2 at the river for odds percentages I was hooked. I was in the Marines and played my share of spades but Hold em makes me wish I had played poker back then in the barracks and on the ship.
I play to learn and understand the game and improve for when playing live put into practice what I learned make money and spend on food ,that yes is very good.
