For me poker started as a hobby I played simply because I liked it, now I can say that I like it even more and I take it very seriously, I hope one day I can dedicate myself exclusively to be a poker player

i suffer from mental health problems which stops me working! i also dont really like to go out often for the same reasons or have much money to do alot. poker for me helps me think about something i enjoy an takes my mind of alot of other things an now an again i make a 10er here an there!

when im playing poker im in my happy place an my brains not just being depressed lol also i just love when you make the correct call and out play people! or final table an mtt! cant beat that feeling!


I have been struggling with schizophrenia since 2004 and found poker that has taught me to fight again! I've been working for 4 years now, but I don't have so much money to lose $ 100! Good luck with the game but there is another joy to life. Think about it!

Я играю в покер, потому что я люблю эту игру, ее волнение, адреналин, который я получаю во время игры, и мне нравится побеждать!

Glory

It is a question, which in my case, has had different answers over time: for money, for fun, for being an interesting way of meeting people, being a member of a community, etc. But the most important thing is that I keep playing whatever happens. Poker and I have been building a solid relationship for several years with ups and downs, with joy and sadness, with passion and with a spirit of glory.

I love card games in general. MTG, Hearthstone, LoR, Eternal etc. but with Poker, I like that a) everyone is on "equal footing" so-to-speak., The challenge of correct decision making and the innate monetary risk associated with it. It's also a really fun social game live and when I'm out "gambling" with my friends, it's a game that I can feel confident enough to sit down at a table and not blow all the money I set aside for "gambling" in a matter of minutes, often being one I actually profit from and feel good overall about my time spent in the casinos. Online I like the strategy, complexity, and nuances of the game that I used to overlook when I thought I was any good at the game.

I play poker for fun and mental exercise. Nothing is better than reading opponents hand perfectly and value betting it for maximum gain. At the moment I'm playing micro stakes but hopefully I'll be confident enough to move up the stakes soon.

I play because I want to earn extra money from poker and if a situation happens that I can win a big win I will open my own business.

I play poker to pass the time, to really distract myself. I only play freerolls and sometimes a big tournament with my freeroll winnings. And maybe one day I'll be able to win a good prize.

I first started playing poker after seeing it played on T.V. and thought that it was an easy game to learn. How wrong I was I played on Facebook for fun and could not understand why I kept losing.
So went back to watching it more and the first thing I noticed was the Pro's never call to see every flop, So I made myself a little rhyme that went "If you don't have to pay, You don't have to Play,"
I kept saying it to myself that if I hadn't paid a blind there was nothing forcing me to play that hand and started folding more rubbish.
Being more selective in the hands I played, started to get me further into the game and I started to win occasionally.
Now I can hold my own in a poker game and even though I sometimes lose it does not stop me playing.
The game is fun and as someone said earlier it is the best game on the Planet.

Keeps the old brain working haha!

I play poker for earning money. If there was no profit, I wouldn't be playing.

I play poker because I am competitive and I like to test my knowledge and learn more and more, regardless of what it is, I like to improve myself and know that I can do anything, and well!
