Poker compared to life has many similarities, because each decision made, right or wrong, makes us go further or stand in the way... so this makes me reflect on everything and also seek more and more knowledge.
thank you for your comment .

People always tend to strive to become the best, to achieve a certain goal, and playing poker they want to achieve something, and maybe become the best.
thank you for that.

Hi, I really like playing poker, and I also like the fact that you can make money at it. Between freerolls and real money tournaments, I make some money every month.
Besides money and fun, poker allows you to meet people from other parts of the world, and form friendships with people who have the same hobbies as you.

I believe that the object of poker is a common objective for all players, to make a living from the game, or to make money from the game in a short space of time. However, unfortunately, online poker does not offer this condition due to the high rate of variation, well, in my country casino games are prohibited, but if it existed, for sure, if I had $100, I would try to make $1,000 in a week on cash gamer , but live, because online you will lose even if you are an excellent player.

I play poker because I enjoy it, and I consciously avoid depositing my own money. I exclusively play with money I've won through freerolls. Sometimes I cash it out, and other times I go through phases where I seek challenges and aim to move up to a higher level.

I believe that to make a living from poker, certain life circumstances are necessary to achieve that goal. Either you have enough money to play consistently until you eventually succeed, or you start from the very bottom, build a reputation, and then the sponsors come in—eliminating the need to pay your own buy-ins.🤔

I play poker for extra income, I earn enough to help with some expenses at home. I don't earn enough to dedicate myself to poker but it helps me in some ways

What keeps me going in poker? A question I have asked myself a lot in the last 5 years. I went from being never profitable to being rarely profitable. I have learned a great deal about the game in the meantime and I do truly believe I can be a very profitable player with the right mindset. To keep me going I like to imagine myself as regularly profitable in the future. I am constantly working on my game, always learning, challenging myself, and understanding more about training my focus.

I have loved card games since childhood and I love almost all kinds of sports. Poker is like a combination of a card game and a sport (this is my personal opinion). There used to be a period when I blamed my failures on everything around me, but now I am still inclined to think that the problem here is not in the circumstances, but in me and my attitude to this game. To date, I have not learned how to make money online poker, but I have such a goal. The fact that I began to understand that the problem is in me, this is what makes me move forward in poker. I am constantly changing my style of play, learning something new from my opponents, changing my attitude to the game in general and I hope that the moment will come when I will find exactly what I am missing in order to earn a stable income online poker. I have realized one very important thing: The main thing is not to give up!

Is to give me the chance to win some money. As a hobby player I don't really expect to win world championships, so every little win is good for my bank account and my ego too. :)

At least I don't lose. That's already good. But the limits are weak - NL2, NL5. So the profit is small...
