I haven't seen an interesting thread for a long time, but I really like this one! So, I'll try to answer as honestly as possible. The good thing about poker is the hope for a money-secured future. The bad thing about poker is the time I waste that I could be spending with my family. :unsure:
thanks i try ...

One advantage of poker is that it is a very democratic sport and allows professionals and amateurs to participate in the same tournament. The disadvantage is that, if the player is not careful, the game can become addictive.
good answer .

When you’re just starting out, everything feels great — it’s all sunshine and rainbows.
Then it starts to get a bit darker, haha.
What I like is how fun and accessible the competition is, especially in the beginning.
But the more I play, the more I realize how little I actually know.
The tough part is how one day you feel super confident, thinking you’ve figured the game out… and the next day, you realize there’s still so much to learn.
I guess it’s all about learning to manage your emotions.

The important thing is to keep showing up, keep learning, and enjoy the journey — that’s what makes this game so special.

The good thing is that it's fun and makes time pass
The bad thing is that I'm so addicted to it that 24 hours a day isn't enough

The good thing is freerolls, of course. The more of them the better. No risk with your own money.
The bad thing is that different sites have different regional restrictions. The world would be a much better place if everyone had the opportunity to play on all the sites that exist.

The game is fun, but you can get lost if you can't control your spending

The good thing is that poker allows me to distract myself. The bad thing is that people need 7-8 hours of sleep.

The good thing about poker is that it will give you back the effort you put in in monetary equivalent over the long run. The terrible thing about poker is that I'm tired of watching re-uppers who are doing well right now, even though they did absolutely nothing to make it happen.

Good morning, everyone!

Poker, at least in my case – I don't know if this applies to everyone – makes me feel really good when I win, and really bad when I lose. It's not that I have very big losses, because I play micro-stakes, but I feel bad especially in situations where I lose or get eliminated from several tournaments in a row, taking bad beats. I started playing poker in 2018 and I know this is perfectly normal, but it still bothers me a lot, you know? It gives me a bad feeling, I feel bad, and when I win some tournaments, I feel great. Poker has these two sides, right? Either you feel really good, or you feel bad.

The good side is that you learn to think strategically and outside the box. The bad side is that poker is not accessible to everyone.
