To become a professional
I'd strongly recommend you find something else!
(you've currently got the 'brown' label in all games I've seen you in)
OR maybe consider a different approach to study/training. CC has a great 30-day course!
Because honestly... Dude.. you are terrible at the pokerz. :(

I still play poker because I never thought about stopping, I love poker and I don't think I'll ever stop playing, maybe someday I'll take a break but I'll never stop for good

I really love poker, that why I'm playing, and even better if I can get money on the journey.

Love the competition and the game of poker. So much to learn in this ever evolving game. Plus the fact that I can possibly win some money is amazing incentive.

Today, poker is like a hobby for me; when I have free time, I always enjoy playing a tournament or playing cash games. I have a lot of friends who play poker, some of them play online and the rest play live. We periodically call each other or meet in real life and talk about poker topics. I am interested in the whole area that is related to poker, I do not treat poker only as a game, for me it is a whole philosophy and part of my life. I love this game and everything that happens in it, I like to watch how my opponents behave.

It is very difficult to find time for poker, so many different worries, sometimes you just want to sit)

Hello! I play poker a little bit for fun, but mostly for the opportunity to earn money. I don't have any illusions about becoming a professional player, but making a regular income wouldn't hurt - if I were younger, my ambitions would drive me to play to win, but now I'm just looking for a minimal income and a hobby.

I've gambled on everything over the course of my life, from the age of 12 through to today... im 39 now.

I love gambling, but for me ehilst I've refrained from certain gambling nowadays, for me poker is a love of mine. The thought process and devision making are traits which help in my every day life, and I love live games, and connecting with others.

Hobby, fun and there is always someone to compete with. At the same time, you can win something extra in the form of money.

Why do you still play poker? Is it for profit or fun?
Hi
I have been playing poker for almost 8 years and I play for fun. I once had hopes that one day I would be able to make a living playing poker, but that goal turned out to be too difficult for me. Currently, poker is just a hobby for me, entertainment in the evenings after a hard day's work.
Good luck :)

I keep playing poker because it clears my mind and makes me spend good times with friends or online. I've loved playing poker since I was 15 and I don't think I'll ever stop playing.

I don't play poker online because it's "profitable". I play becuase:

  1. I legitimately enjoy the game.
  2. What other game/hobby can you do non-professionally and actually make money while doing it?
  3. If I get good enough I will one day be able to have a hobby that nets me a significant supplementary income.
