For me, it wasn’t one specific hand or tournament — it was more the overall mix of strategy, psychology, and competition that drew me in. Every game feels different, and that’s what really hooked me.

I was intrigued to see Sammy Farha on ESPN smoking his unlit cigarette. The thing is, he's not a smoker, but believes that cigarettes are his lucky charm. Each with their peculiar habits.

the simple fact of a card game that challenges your mind, your patience and your ability to make decisions under pressure. And the money, of course.

Covid + CC= all my poker dreams all came true. 100% all about the CC :p best games on the planet. I have played them all <3
I am getting to the point where I can go outside again too. I am seriously daydreaming about big tourneys and the advantage I will have learning off of all the sharks here O.O
I am 100% used to playing with friends, and I do not care what anyone says, looking across the online table and seeing G0930 or Bulliezebum or DPoker33 or Antiono777 or the people who taught me in the beginning <3 Hi Charlie, Rob, Jay <3 and then learning how to slow play, re-raise their asses is way more fire in that moment than any stranger could give me.
And in closing, let the record show… I love CC📝💖last day for fall team league sign ups lol
It's always great to see you at tournaments, Billi! You and a few other kind and polite players, along with helpful and friendly moderators, are what keep me coming back to play! Thank you for everything! Hugs!!

Știind că felul în care nu jucăm mâinile la poker este similar cu deciziile pe care le luăm în viață, mai ales că sunt un idiot care decide cu inima și nu cu creierul.
You are not an idiot! You are a normal person and the abnormality belongs to those who decide only with the brain, not with the heart!

strong hand doesn’t mean 100% you are winning, there are many possibilities in poker. That’s the fun part

When I was 10 I had a friend I would spend the night at his house and he had a poker set with the plastic red whit and blue chips and we would play 5 card draw all night, it was so much fun! That’s what hooked me!

The fact that you meet people of other nationalities at tables and on some sites you could even chat with them was one of the reasons why I fell in love with playing poker. Now you can communicate more on the poker room communities. And of course the game itself, which is quite competitive.
