Why do you play poker?

[Amanda A]

It's therapeutic, like meditation. When I'm playing it takes my focus off everything else. It's also very enjoyable! More fun than actually meditating.

I play poker because it's great fun, an interesting game, and I'm especially attracted by the prospect of winning some money

 

[Tanamita]

I like this game for its dynamism, excitement, and here you need the mind to outplay the opponent

I play poker because I love it and I want to turn poker from a hobby into a profession.

Do you play poker for fun or as a profession? How much time do you dedicate to it? Tell me

Pure hobby, I used to play for up to 18 hours straight, today I play a maximum of 7 hours, some days less

Hello I started for fun and I continue to do it but I have studied a little to improve and today I am withholding some dollars to give myself some tastes

I play poker several hours a week for fun and to improve my skills. Although I'm not a professional, but I strive for this.

For hobby and a little money.

I play poker for fun but the possibility to earn extra money is great.

 

[mattiebumpo]

I play for fun because I love the game and the competition. I would never want to play poker for my living though...too much stress.

Why do you play poker?​

Because my wife lets me.😁

Poker is metaphor for much more. It gives me insights into own life's strategies.
It's about patience, calculated risk, logic over emotions, etc.

 

[Ataman911]

It's like a hobby for me, currently I only play freerolls, but I want to play cool tournaments))

 

[Hospedar]

Principally for two reasons:

1st → I really like to play this game (is addictive, I admit).

2nd → I saw an opportunity to bring some money to my account, of course. 😅

I have no ****ing idea.

 

[Goalie35]

I play mostly online and enjoy it because it is challenging (and frustrating) and makes me think. It is also better than watching TV.
Two of my favorite activities are golf and poker which have to be two of the most frustrating things to do.

 

[R.Holynskyi]

For me poker is not a profession, for me poker is just a hobby that brings pleasure. Poker also brings me money, but this money is very little. However, the enjoyment I get from this great game motivates me to keep playing.

 

[Fofa]

Because i like to earn some money PPP

 

[angelluv725]

I play poker for fun, and it helps to take my mind off problem at times.

 

[nameless]

Poker is fun and to make cry babies angry that's my medicine for the day

 

[chicbulls2]

It is a nice hobby to have, spend some spare time, and earn a bit of money, a win win situation
