Why Do You Play Poker

[lucas24]

I play poker because I like, but also to earn money and at some point in my life to live financially from this game.

Greetings.

It's simple...I love this game...

I play poker for an escape from reality...haha.. then I get hit with the reality of
bad beats..I also like the adrenaline rush of a good show down!

I play poker cuz it takes my mind off things and relaxes me..it's my therapy of depression and anxiety..

I played a card game called Magic the Gathering since it came out in the early 90's. I even played competitively at high levels up until I had my first son about 6 years ago. The main guy I played with and against went on to be the first to win the world tournament 2 times. Its similar to poker in many ways but I would say far more complex with far more to keep in mind. So poker came naturally to me and gave me that competitive feeling I craved. I fight MMA professionally so I have an overall love of competition, especially one on one. But there is always a desire for strategy based mental competitiveness that physical competition doesn't fully satisfy.

I play poker because it's one of the few sports games available to me. Since I got into a car accident and broke my hip.

I play poker, because it's fun sometimes. Also you can earn some money in freerolls or cash games.

 

[kandauroff]

because this is my life. I love poker and everything connected with it. I'm in love with passion, is what allows me - the feeling in this life.

I play it from a very young age, I love playing it, I love the concentration levels it achieves in me, a great mental work and also a while ago I play it for the possibility of winning a little more every day, regularizing it and thus being able to live off the game .

I play poker because it's my hobby. I like calculating, bluffing and excitement in this game. This is very interesting to me.

 

[kley126]

I play poker because I'm passionate about this sport too because you can make good money and live off this having study and dedication

I wish you all the best on your quest. It will take much hard work, learning, desire, and an ability to learn from the setbacks.

I play because I love the game. I've been playing for a very long time, and I do keep track of how I do, and I've made a profit over the years, but nothing to brag about. It does keep it interesting, though.

Now that I'm retired, I have even more time to play, and I'm making good use of it.

One thing I've REALLY noticed over the years? Players that enter $10.00 and up tournaments, play a hell of a lot differently, than the ones below that level...especially freerolls.

I tend to keep my buy-ins at the $5.00 level. I feel much safer there.

Again, if you've really got the desire, and drive, I wish you all the best.

Maybe you can keep us updated on your progress.

[dallam]

To entertain myself, to use my brain and senses, to push my limits to the edge, to being in a community like this, to be rich about it, to travel around the world, to be able to help myself and people.

 

[veltins]

It’s like a challenge for me to do well vs others as well as to entertain myself

 

[Geksan_87]

a hobby, as well as not a bad chance to improve your financial situation, if you drag a good tournament))

 

[crazycitizen]

The more I learn about myself.
I find it to be a deeply personal game.
Which I love

I play for entertainment, but being able to win money through poker is like a plus that gives you more excitement

Love the thrill. Love the %s and of course love the river card ��

I heard it, read it, and decided to try it. I play for my own entertainment and do not make it a goal to make money.
