Set yourself up for the best and don't be upset if something doesn't work out. In every bad situation, there is always something good. Always maintain a positive attitude and highlight the positive aspects.If you don't like playing poker, don't play it. It's impossible to achieve high results in something you don't like. Enjoy the game at a particular moment in time, don't focus on short-term results. Even the best player can play at a loss in one session, but that doesn't make him any weaker.

I enjoy not knowing what will happen with every new game started. The ups and downs of getting cards and being card dead for hours. Your variance can go 180 degrees from one game to the next. I keep playing to see the action also.

I like how it takes my mind off things for a while. And I like clicking buttons.

After watching reruns of NCIS and Criminal Minds, I need to do something to take up my waking time.

Learning and seeing that I'm not an awful player who knows their leaks and learns from them. One who puts up good results relative to the investment

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.🤔
Thank you 🙏 for your comment

the entertainment value is far superior than watching tv or a movie.
More challenging!

The reason I continue to play online poker specifically is the ease of playing from anywhere, day or time.

This flexibility is very important for me to be able to plan ahead and participate in online tournaments.

Honestly, I have lost a lot of money recently. I currently play for fun and consider poker as a hobby.

I play poker simply because I love this game and money is just a small bonus))

It is an exciting game with a lot of action, and it is more preferable from other games, because you interact with other people and the rewards are far more interesting.

The thrill of outsmarting opponents and constantly improving my game. Plus, the chance to turn skill into profit is a great motivator!
