Do you play poker for fun or as a profession? How much time do you dedicate to it? Tell me
Always for fun! if I am not enjoying the game I will give up and Quit! keeping my buy-ins low and playing freerolls isn't going to cost me much if anything at all, and I do have to be in the right mood to enjoy the game.
Playing when you are in a bad mood after having an argument with a partner or something else that might have upset you will never improve your game play.
Buying in for anything up to $5 Dollars isn't going to bother me too much because it is still below my 1%
bankroll Balance, I allow myself per game. And playing with money you cannot afford to lose (scared money) is asking for trouble.
Keeping Poker a fun game helps me to relax and have some enjoyment for little expense.
