What are you playing poker for? Does poker bring you satisfaction or vice versa has broken your dreams?


Great question.

I play poker for the challenge of the game. It's like a complex puzzle to me that "should" be solvable. I'm still trying to put the pieces together though. Maybe it will never be solved, but like I said I enjoy the challenge of it. I hope to grow my bankroll and move up in stakes.

I play poker in principle because I like it and although I made the mistake of stopping to play it 10 years ago (I was angry at the multiple bad beats and losing hands with individuals who play as if they were subnormal, but now I realize that just those types of players are those who will make money in the long run) and perhaps with time, study, practice and sufficient effort to generate some income.

An interesting situation. I also used to play, then stopped playing. Now once again I play a freeroll and micro-stakes. Money not paid. I get pleasure from the game.

I like to play poker. I love races, good sports. It cultivates patience, develops logical skill, human knowledge. I found good friends with whom we play a lot.

I play for the mental challenge. The money involved is secondary. I enjoy strategy and intellectual challenges, which poker provides.

Poker fulfills all my masochistic leanings. Great game for that.

It brings me exclusively satisfaction. Of course, if you manage to win interesting tournaments, then satisfaction tends to absolute)))

i play poker....

I play poker for fun and it gives me satisfaction but certainly no dreams come true. I find it exciting if I can decide for myself if Player A goes all-in for example and other players go all-in at the right time.:cool::cool::cool:

I play poker because i have been doing it for 60years i would say on a scale of 1to10 i am an easy 5 maybe but i can afford it and enjoy it i might add that it is a selfish game. it takes a lot of time and if your married and have a family, its not a good thing.

im a promotional, freeroll poker player and play to win some money.
And i often do, although the promotions are going down, the last few years as we have seen providrers lowered their bonuses and f.e. freerolls.

Playing poker

I play poker because I found out that I have some kind of skills in card games. I like to play because it gives me challenges and joy, and of course I hope to WIN big in the future.

I play for fun as a hobby. I like the game and use it to relax after work. I also like it when i take correct decisions and win some money albeit only a few $.

I played a while ago, I liked it a lot. I had to take a break because of other work. I am returning with better goals, I hope to reach them. Good luck everyone, we'll soon meet at the poker tables.
And good luck to you, I'll be happy to meet you at the poker table

Before black Friday, it was all about money. I was in school and barely making any money with my part-time jobs, and poker was a great way to supplement my income.

Now it's all about fun. I used to grind SNGs, now I give away money having fun playing MTTs.
