Why Do You Play Poker?

[jitterboogie]

I quite enjoy it as a hobby

 

[DEE123]

The Reason I play poker is to keep my mind active.Is a good way to think, ponder learn new things and just enjoy. I play for the excitement of taking down big pots and the excitement of getting into the money even tho you did not even win back your buy in. And I find it exciting to get through 712 players to get to the final table in a 10 dollar free roll. poker is a great thing to do when you do not feel like say cleaning your apartment LOL.

One night I saw on television that 20 years boy poker game against a much older and was really relaxed compared to others, but what I like more that others had respect for him regardless of his age. I like when they respect you because of your knowledge and skills, plus you can get some really serious money for that knowledge and skills.

why do i play poker

is it because you like the mentalities of the game or because you believe you can beat it and so make money out of it. were you motivated by seeing big winners' game or rewards? Moneymaker effect has made wsop main event so popular because the average joe believes they can make millions just by being fortunate. poker became popular because it is not fair to begin with. thats why so many donks play poker and not chess. because in chess you dont get the joy of beating a better player. in poker theres this delusion often enough to attract bad players in the game so they can come again and again to lose more and more. and it is the motives that make a losing player i believe. if you see poker as a means to an end your end being money and financial stability then you miss the point. you should play poker because you like the thought. i like playing poker even with fake money, even though i know its not real poker because you dont care that much for fake money. but i am a very competitive person so i want to win even if the reward is just a chance to boast at my friends. but i play with fake money only with friends live, cause online fake money means donkings and absolutely no poker thought. but yeah you see my point. whats your reasons for playing? are they the same from when you got into the game? how do you view the idea of going pro (if you get the skills of course)? would you like to play poker to make the same money than in another job?

Me the reason that I play poker it gives me some thing to do but I also enjoy playing cards has well. I hope that some time this year that I make a live tourney either here in southern Ohio or southern Indiana. I would like to get into one tourney and hope that I will be able to cash out would be nice to put some extra money in my pocket.

At first it was a way to kill time. Then I noticed that the game teaches me to be assembled, teaches patience. Poker has become my hobby.

I love the mentality of it and I love it when you get into really sick spots that just make you think.

 

[bronc_busted]

I play for many reasons. The competition, money, power, control. Also for the social aspect of the game. And another thing why wouldn't you play? What do people do that don't play poker. Sounds boring to me.

 

[sergey ptz]

I get the necessary dose of adrenaline!

 

[NicoSalazar7]

I began recently in poker, but rather I started out of curiosity, and after a while I realized being on the computer three hours and followed him to already be learning and visualizandome future .
Rather play for fun, I found a passion in poker, exercising my mind

Excuse my translation , I do not understand the English

It's a battle of the mind of the opponent. That is addicting to me.

[krasikrisi]

Why do I play poker.... HMMMM good question.... I play online poker because I have way too much free time on my hands an just sitting there watching TV doesn't do it for me, I need to keep my brain active. ( weather good or bad ) I find I throw away more money away online but I only play small stakes. Now I also play Live tourney at our local casino a couple times a year an well thats for real money an I just simply love the competitive atmosphere. I always played competitive sports until i got hurt so this is about the only way left i can flex my competitive muscles.

 

[Oles Shmadylo]

[makisaa]
