Why do you still play poker? Is it for profit or fun?
For me, first and foremost, poker is about money. There's no doubt about it. That's why I play poker. Would I call poker fun? Rather in poker you can find the emotion of disappointment when you lose with a good card. And winning money is considered the norm for me. It's not an emotion of joy, but rather I get the thought: "I won money because I just played better." My luck in poker is extremely rare. :(

I play poker both for profit and for fun, but of course earnings come first.

For the fun of it.If it stops being fun to you unless you are making a lot of money from it think twice before starting to play.

I play poker because I like to spend my free time exercising my strategic thinking. With the game of poker it is possible to suddenly realize a dream, which is to become a millionaire through competence and merit.

Too be honest I'm not sure. By all reasonable measures I should give it up like I did with smoking. I'm going to give this some serious thought. Thanks for the question.

For me, poker is a hope for a miracle or a belief in a fairy tale. This is an opportunity to change lives.

You know I've been playing for 13 years I don't play a lot. Because about 5 hours a day on average.

For the last two years I've played less often because I've started a family.

But anyway my experience and skills are developing slowly because slowly but I play well. So it's hard for me to give up and stop playing. I know that I still have a lot ahead of me m.doueoro 36 years old almost 37 I think that I will calmly still win a big tournament and be able to call myself. Tournament champion mtt.

Besides the fact that I like it a lot, it relaxes me to the max.

I think it is a greate deal when someone play poker for profit. For me personally poker is the way to relax after long day. I didn't do any deposits but i will do it soon. I think 50 dollars is good sum to stars!
