It’s fun and the energy and feelings it gives you are unlike lots of things. It’s adrenaline pumping. Like doing something x treme. Poker is x treme.

I played a lot of poker for many years, but then I switched to sports betting because I didn't have time to spend 3-4 hours in a poker tournament everyday. Now, I'm playing a lot of online poker because of the social distacing caused by the coronavirus and there are no good sports to watch or bet :(

I only play hold'em. I am not interested in other games. But I play one tournament a day. Very rarely two. I wonder how many tournaments can be played in one day. And are there any victories? The more a player plays the more tired. The question is ... why do you play a lot
You just make a difference in life and enjoy playing 1 tournament a day. If you want to earn this understandable delo is not enough. At least 10 tournaments per day. Of these 2-3, somewhere the all-in will not go, somewhere the card will be bad, you just fold it, well, for the rest it is possible to go to the prizes and win something.

In order to win money, you need to play the distance and for this you need to play a lot. The law of poker.

Often, when you quickly leave a tournament, you immediately want to play another one, and it turns out that you can play 3-4 tournaments a day. Ludomania is bad, mkay

I'm still studying and playing a little, for the most I still do not have enough free time. I play because it's just interesting. I have not used my money for the game yet.

First, thanks for the post.


I play 3 tables at the same time, as I don't have the patience to play just one and my game level is not affected. But I have seen videos of players that play more than 20 at the same time, even using Holdem manager for me this is absurd haha.

The important thing is that we focus our attention on only one thing and, thus, obtain success instead of frustrations. it happens in poker. It will not be possible to divide the attention with tiredness

the best is to play at least 4 games at the same time. this reduces the effect of variance on your game and improves your luck of winning to be a profitable player.

I play only when there is time for this. And the time that I spend on the game depends on how long I managed to stay in the tournament.

I really love to play poker and the reason for that is the adrenaline in your body while playing in the action of the tables. The main reason everyone should play is for fun. The main target should not be the money. Yes, it is very exciting when you win and get money, but you should recognise that poker is not only money. You have to know your limit and when you see you are not happy and you are starting to lose, that means you should stop, go to do something else and play again on the next day when something else will be in your mind. That is the way I follow since 2012.
About how many tournaments one player should play - it depends on the person. I can play whole day, if that makes me feel good, especially if there are some prizes listed into my bank account. If you feel good you can play all day.

To play a lot, you need to align the variance with the correct and adequate game, for profit.
But I, like you, can’t play much, it takes a lot of time, but you still have to deal with theory and deal with poker hands. I think that professionals and people who earn money in poker need to play a lot.

I think the more games you play per day - - - the less chance of winning.You play a lot-you get more tired.The more you get tired,the less you win.

I can only play in the evenings, so I play one, two tournaments a day, but that's enough for me.
