I like to play poker. The main thing is not to forget that there are many other interesting things in life.

this question why we play poker has to fix it permanently. It is clear that everyone plays for money but we have to play and for pleasure we have to love the game. why if we play without pleasure we can lose money

Poker is a combination of luck and skill. People think that it is most difficult to master all the subtleties of mastery, but they are mistaken. The main thing - to subdue luck. This is a whole philosophy. Understanding luck is a philosophy, and some will never comprehend it. This is what distinguishes poker from other games. That is why everyone returns to the gaming table time after time.

I play poker for profit. On average, in a month, I get 300-500 dollars. I do not actually spend money on the game, because my bankroll was created in freerolls.

To answer this question, I want to explain what happens at Poker. We got two starting cards, and with them we have to play about 70 to 80% of the time with cards that are not so favorable.

This tells us and will require a factor of extreme importance not only in Poker, but in all situations of our daily lives.

We will have to put our patience into practice and have a lot of discipline to know which cards will be profitable or will be favorable, if not, we will have to discard them and wait and wait, we have: "patience and discipline."

Poker impatience is expensive, playing hands that should not be played can cost us chips and end our fun earlier than we expected, so playing poker turns out to be a very good patience exercise that will help us other areas of our life!

However, even if we do not have such good starting cards, that does not mean that you always have to be passive, there are moments in our lives like at Poker, that we have to take risks, to be aggressive even if we do not have something so good.

I personally play Poker because it is always a challenge that causes adrenaline, makes my brain come out of the comfort zone and seek solutions, decisions and show that even at that moment I win the pot, I could have done different or even extracted more advantages, more chips, ah, ah, ah...

I play as a hobby with benefits.

I like to play cards anyway so it's something to do and you can make money doing it. I don't think I could do it professionally because going through downswings when your bills/food depends on it would be rough.

I don't let poker control my life either. Some people just have addictive personalities and can get caught up in the bad side of gambling. Poker is more skill but in the end it is gambling.

First of all, I really like this game.
I have been playing poker for only one year, and now it is my favorite hobby. Previously, I spent 20-30 dollars a month on the game, but now I play only in freerolls.

he has become a vilate for me to play poker. I need my daily dose of adrenaline. The benefits of poker are legion. While having fun, you develop your mental abilities. You are looking for the best way to win. Over time, your memory improves, you concentrate more easily, your reflexes sharpen. The risks of neurodegenerative diseases move away as you solicit your brain.

I play poker to fill my anxious time. I hope that when I get back to work I can buy in to try to raise a lot of money.

I play for fun since I only "gamble" what can lose. It's a way to unwind from a busy day and really helps to pass the time when my wife is watching one of her TV shows :).
