For me it's because it involves a lot of people... being able to make several friendships

I think poker is fascinating because it is an unpredictable game where anyone can become a winner. In other words, everyone has a chance to succeed, but it all depends on the player's patience and determination.

Poker has everything. You need math, experience, you have to know people and their tendencies. A bit of luck does not hurt, too.
Every hand is different.

I've been obsessed with playing cards, card games and card magic from a young age.

Poker is probably about the most fun you can have with a deck of cards, it's a sublimely profound game which can be played in many different ways, with more players than most card games.

It can be played with wagering and is both simple & complicated enough to enthrall rank amateurs and lifelong veterans alike.

poker strategy is like many, many, cans of worms inside one another, so you can always keep learning, improving and can also find yourself back where you started.

It's like an extraordinary, intellectual garden maze. ;)

It is because the rules are easy but it is hard to master. You can always find new situations and come up with different tactics. Plus, of course, you can theoretically, become rich be playing ;-)

here you can test your luck, intuition, logical thinking, develop patience, learn to hide emotions, read your opponent like an open book, make money, have a good time - and that's all POKER

it's not just gambling, you need to be a psychologist and a mathematician to win, that's what attracts people.

It is very dynamic, there is not one solution to any play so you can not lock yourself into one style of play and be successful. You must adapt your style constantly.

for me it is attractive because being a game where you can make decisions freely, you know that each decision affects your game in the short and long term, and that gives you a dose of adrenaline that feel alive

Most of the time it's about money.

It is a complete game. It involves gambling, emotions, mathematics, cash winnings, and so on.
It can be played in any way (from casual to Pro).

Playing online is very comfortable, you dont need to go somewhere, you dont need to make physical efforts. Also, in online it has a high pace.

Anything that crash with us... we tend to love it, don't we?!

People like to lie, and poker is a liar's game after all.

Although poker is entertainment for me, nevertheless, apart from pleasure, poker also brings me money. That's why this game always fascinates me.

For the most part it is an opportunity to get additional cash bonuses. It is also entertainment that requires building certain strategies to achieve victories.

For me it is because of the amount of money you can win and because I like card games.

It is the strategy part but also the unpredictability. Studies show that we like rewards more if they occur randomly.

because he shows us like in football, that sometimes the worst can win, if they are on their lucky day.
Of course, in the long run the story changes, but it's those moments that make poker so fascinating to me.

This is a fun, simple mind game that keeps the player engaged. The game hones real skills, unlike slots or the lottery. Plus poker can be considered as a hobby without leaving home.

Mainly it's attractive to me, because I have the opportunity to win a big tournament and have some extra money to spend on personal things. that's the thrill of playing, achieving a great goal
