Why do you play poker?

[R.Melnyk77]

When I started playing poker, I started primarily for fun, because I did not believe that poker could bring money. But it turned out that I was wrong, poker can bring money. So I play for fun and a chance to win money

Essentially to live. It's my job and I see it as such.

I will be a pro one day and travel to play around the world.

Mainly because it's a challenging and enjoyable game where there's always something new to learn. Moreover, being highly competitive, it holds the potential to be a source of income, making it tempting to invest time in it.
Additionally, I would highlight its social aspect. In my case, I gather with friends to play every now and then, and it's always a great experience.

Play poker for money first. I want to be a professional. In this area

 

[TinTinPirulin]

I like it a lot because it requires all of my attention and patience when I'm playing poker, and predicting what the opponent has is very rewarding.

Oh, I play poker for the thrill of the game! There's this incredible blend of strategy, psychology, and unpredictability that keeps me hooked. It's not just about the money; it's about outsmarting opponents, making calculated moves, and the satisfaction of a well-played hand. Plus, there's a social aspect to it – sitting at the table, reading people, and sharing those intense moments. It's a unique combination of skill and excitement that makes poker endlessly fascinating for me.

I play for fun, to take my mind off things—and of course, to win some money too.

I love the game as there are many variables to consider in any given hand. Poker is exciting and it makes me analyse many different situations at any one time. I never get bored playing and currently looking to build my bankroll out of 5NL.

It's an incredibly competitive strategy game that you make money at if you do well... What is not to like!!

But honestly I do really enjoy the competitiveness of the game. So long as you keep your mind sharp you can play it well into your old age.


It really is a special game you need to be a little special to play

Yes thats a really important point. Age is no barrier. Look at Doyle Brunson.

We are a small community in another forum and we used to host poker tournament there sponsored by casinos. I enjoy playing poker with the community members. It creates exciting moments for me.

Mental competition!

I play because I enjoy it, but I can't tale it too seriously because I don't really earn much money from the way I play. So it's for fun.

[odonob]

To earn. A bit of money. To earn. A lot one needs to risk a lot.

- To distract yourself from problems... and fun

But that's true for most hobbies.
