The main reason is that I am older and I work very little now, so I have plenty of time on my hands. I do have other hobbies but I don't want to study languages and play brain games all the time, so I play a little poker.

I play poker for pleasure, earnings and here are a few more reasons: Poker develops logical thinking.
A poker player will always base his decisions on logic in the first place. To succeed in this game, you will need to constantly develop this skill, and even if you make a conscious effort, it will inevitably happen over time. Of course, if you don't just mindlessly play “put together a combination”, but really try to think, analyze and learn.
Development of discipline. No strategy will be successful in poker if you do not have the proper level of discipline. Therefore, poker can be called a good training in terms of discipline development.

I love poker. I play because I have so much fun, and I feel very gratified when I win something. Although in the last few days, weeks were just disappointments /:

A little relax, a little fun, a little money making.

Mainly because i love the complexity and competetive aspect of the game. You have full freedom to choose the style that suits your personalty. The icing on the cake is the potential to earn good chunk of money after you put a lot of work and energy into improving the game. :)

Poker is just a great game. It has a bit of everything. And it is a game of skill. You can learn new things and improve. It is exciting and unpredictable.

Practice .. once again - practice ..

at the moment I play poker in order to learn how to play well and win tournaments. You can say that I play for practice. Of course, I like the process of the game itself and I like to win!) And yet initially I learn to play poker.

I play poker because I have played ever since I was a young girl. It is fun for me to play whether I win or not. I do enjoy the game and hope you all do as well. Good luck to those who do play.

Clearly a hobby. It helps to have a table open while doing other more boring stuff at the same time too.

I play in order to mostly fill my free time. And of course there is a hope that someday I will win the tournament with a good prize.

Have enjoyed card games since my youth. Poker was one of the games my dad taught us. When it became popular from TV, my son enjoyed watching and wanting to play.

So from that, it was a generational thing with poker. Playing cards was one motivation as I played many games. Winning money was what drove me to be better and spend time away from the table learning. All in all, been a love hate relationship with poker.

Well, I could lie telling is only for the money, I don´t know why i love this game, the fact of being talking about it, the fact of be always learning something about it, about my game, sharing my knowledge and learning about it in a community.

That´s, just like swimming, is my sport, I have something to do in my live, and something about to talk that does not involves the other people lives.

When I´m living Poker, I´m living myself, when I talk about Poker I´m talking about myself.

I play because I cannot compete in sports anymore. It is kind of a replacement tbh.

I like to play poker, it is my favorite sport, and then it is clear that we are also to earn money, but we must know that first you have to like it a lot because sooner or later if you do not get the results you will end up leaving, but a passionate about what he does will never leave, will go through problems but will always be there, that happens to me the same in poker, I am passionate about this game.

because I like to.

because it is a fun game.

fun means a lot of things. fun can also be equated but not limited to a feeling of fullfillment, of satisfaction on many levels simultaneously.

fun is competition. it is pleasure. it is pain.

it is many things. one thing it is not however is boredom.

the moment I start to feel bored at the table I know I need to do something else.



poker is also about process. same as life.. it is not the outcome that matters but the way in which we get there (or not) .. which is why any time I realize im not in the process and attached to results only I've lost the way. it is not one of many ways, its the way because any deviation is illusory in the sense that we're put energy into things which we have no control over. so yea. poker is fun

I play poker because it's probably the best way I can spend my free time. Poker is a great pastime that also brings me money.
