When I first came across poker, I didn't really understand the game, it seemed so obvious and stupid.

[I Live Poker]

So I spent years getting excited, trying to understand it in depth, and looking for reasons why poker was relevant in my life. I discovered that it was just the money. Poker is stupid and nothing special, as I had realized from the beginning, a damn habit of not following my intuition.
And what does poker mean to you?

Intuition doesn't exist in a measurable way. It is just a "gut feeling" based on flip second thaughts, hopes and hormones (often wrong).
So it cannot help you in an action where calculation and rigourosity is key.

Poker to me is like investments, you are always seeking positive ROI situations and just like in investing you dont always win.

All you can do is continue to work on your game, learn from your experiences, and try to improve every day.

So you're registered at CC to tell all that poker sucks?^^
Sure you're in the right forum? Cause guess what people register here for their legitimate interest in poker.

Did you lose interest because you never won anything ?^^

I kind of wondered that too Val, BUTTTT <3 and I like big buts Poker becomes a lot more than a card game when you immerse yourself. I find it is the greatest game because everyone has their own take on how to win, and the same hand can be played many different ways. Then you add CC to the mix and it gets even more incredible.

So you came here to tell that “poker is stupid and nothing special.” I’m laughing 🤣 with you and not at you. A rare misconception of the game though.
Try checkers. Or the silly card game called drunk stoned.
Be ape 🦍

Some here seem to be a little overwhelmed with the pressure of poker
I'm not criticizing poker, maybe it's a mistranslated term that may have been a bit inappropriate. What I mean is that we should never place results or motivations on the activities themselves, but rather on the right reasons that support any activity. Poker is what it is.
The considerations of @billibooo and @TeUnit are very relevant. Thank you for adding your clear vision!

Seems like you’re the one who is overwhelmed by poker. Nothing in your silly 😜 OP is lost in translation. It’s crystal clear that you see poker as a game for idiots. This however says more about you as a troll 🧌 than the world’s leading cardgame, which is poker.

So I'm the biggest idiot ever! I've been playing for over 15 years...

Thanks for the advice

When I started watching the first poker broadcasts, I was interested, but I didn’t understand what the commentators were talking about. It was funny.

I like poker.... and really bad rap songs😎👍

It seemed the same to me when I first played, but now everything is very simple for me, although I still have a lot to learn.

When I was first introduced to poker, my association was the ocean. Yes, exactly the ocean of both opportunity and the length of time it takes to learn this game. But to call poker obvious and stupid? That's too self-righteous!

For me, poker literally means ‘earning an income lying on the couch’. No more, no less

I felt the same way at first—poker looks simple, but once you dive in, the depth and strategy blow your mind. It’s what keeps the game fascinating.
