If you could go back in time would you still choose to play poker?

If I could go back in time, I might have picked a sport where starting young gives you an edge.
But the great thing about poker is that you can start as an adult and stop anytime you want.
Even if I were into something else, I think I’d still end up playing poker once I discovered it.

For me, poker is a hobby, I really like this game and it doesn't interfere with my life.

I love playing poker, here a Cardschat, at a casino, or Saturday nights with friends and family. It’s always a good time.

If I could go back in time, I would have started playing poker much earlier, as soon as it became available in my country. Unfortunately, I started playing late, and so I still have a long and difficult road ahead of me :)

Absolutely not! I also wouldn't choose to smoke, drink, or eat high fat, high salt, high sugar processed foods.

What’s interesting is that poker really grows on you — the more you play, the more you want to keep playing.
I’ve been playing for over 10 years now, and I have zero regrets about starting this journey.

Enjoy poker, but don't let it become your whole life: the best hands are also played off the table.

I lose little, though I gain not much...There must be a sense and strategy in everything )

I would never play this dirty scam game if I could go back.

Foh Sure, I’d still choose to play poker. I’ve learned so much from the game.
Strategies, the ranges, understanding different fields… the adrenaline is awesome. It’s been a huge teacher for me in terms of resilience, patience, and brain stimulating.

If I could go back in time I would buy a lot of bitcoin and play poker also.

That's a yes for me. I'd actually start learning how to properly play it earlier if I was able to. The negative stigma around it made me reluctant back then.

Then I would quit everything I did, hire a good coach and focus only on poker.

If I could go back I would have studied more and kept better BRM, like having a clear goal to work towards and a stop limit when playing.

Yes
But it would change some ways of playing, it wouldn't be so impulsive, but it was undoubtedly an excellent choice to enter the world of poker.

If we could go back in time to play poker, we certainly wouldn't make the same mistakes we did in the past, but that doesn't mean we'd have wins instead of losses. But we would have more experience, which would help us avoid childish mistakes. Certainly, if we could go back in time, the gains would outweigh the losses. But since we can't go back in time, let's move forward, confident in the victories that await us.

Poker is certainly a very good way to challenge us in several ways.
