I have always liked card games, and have had a lot of different sports. Poker gives
me positive energy, and it's interesting to see if my game strategy is the right one.

My biggest passion before poker was movies, and while I’m still passionate about them, some of my personal beliefs make it hard to align with a lot of art sometimes. I grapple a lot with impermanence, and art just draws attention to the everlasting or lack thereof. Poker on the other hand is absolutely a pleasure of the present. It doesn’t matter what happens tomorrow, next year, or in a thousand years. When I’m in a poker hand, it feels important to me.

It's a fun hobby for me. I chose it because I am competitive and its a fun brain exercise. You have to be sharp the whole time.

I just love to play and the fact of how amazing it is to see what the cards do and the different situations it puts me and other players in. No 2 hands are the same. Just because something worked one time it might not work again and vice versa. I say greatest past time ever.

Для меня покер - это не просто игра, а нечто большее. Место, где все проблемы уходят сами собой, и вы остаетесь в атмосфере, в которой победителем может быть любой)

why did I choose poker?

I am retired. I had a challenging career in management. I chose poker because I enjoy the challenges. The game helps keep my mind active and also keeps me from getting bored. I play freerolls and if I win anything, I feel accomplished. My major goal each time is to finish in the top quarter and is not the money. I have read too many stories of how guys don't make a lot on the tour once expenses are deducted. Not to say that is right, but it seems different folks are now finishing in the top of wsop. If anything, my biggest dream would be to win a trip and ticket to the WSOP. Thank you for asking and good luck with your poker career!

I am competitive, so poker instigates me to try to evolve and whenever I reach one goal I go after another. poker opens up many possibilities of knowledge as long as you strive and study.
Good luck with your plans.


TAMO JUNTO!

I choose poker because it isn't team play. All my moves and bluffs are only mine. I know if I lose tournament or some money in cash game the only me is chief culprit.

And I love sight of playing cards by the way :)

Poker trains perseverance and attention. If that's the problem - poker is a great workout

I chose poker just for the strategy of the game -- not for a money-making opportunity. I love card games and my previous favorites were Spades and Hearts. Then I discovered the array of poker styles (Texas Holdem, Razz, Stud, etc.) and fell in love!

I chose poker because I love the competitive nature of the game. It is so complicated and the amount of math and endless types of situations that occur draws me easily into the game.

Simply put; it's challenging and fun. Not only is it exciting to feel the adrenaline pumping and to win a tournament after some bad beats, but you can actually gain money. It's not gambling if you play with the right bankroll, study and play correctly over a large enough sample.

Progress is also easy to follow, and when you see that all your studying and practicing has paid off, there aren't many other things that can exceed the level of satisfaction you're experiencing.

I have changed my thinking today. I want to improve my game for who knows someday to join a team.
What do you think about joining a team?
I'll start trying to make a volume, this month I want to put together a planning for 0,25cents (PS) - 45 players

I am motivated to play poker by the fact that, while doing what I love, I will be able to earn money in the future and travel around the world. It's certainly only a dream, but who knows - you can achieve everything. Only after thinking that winning one of the tournaments you can get a lot of money.

Poker is a game of minds and reading a person. It is very interesting to learn the psychology of the opponent's game, it is especially pleasant to calculate when he bluffs and thereby increase his stack. You also know the percentage of your luck - it's very interesting.

I like poker because it is an exciting game and it is like a battle. You gather experience which is valuable to the game, but also valuable in your life. I function with targets. When one target is reached I try for the next!
