Absolutely, I lived within 20-45 minutes of 4 poker rooms for several years before I started playing. Now that I moved somewhere with 0 poker rooms my only regret is I didn't start playing earlier. So I could have spent more than just a couple years being able to play live cash tables whenever I wanted.

Yes I had great times at the table with my friends! online poker not so much not great memories lol I didn’t play much online but playing with my friends is when and I still have the best memories. Nothing like slinging cards and sharing laughs with friends

Absolutely yes. Poker is so much more than a card game. But I’ve got one regret though. For the first eight years I only played tournaments. They do have fun and thrills, but they are also time consuming. Been playing cash games instead for about 12 years. Here, you are your own boss as of when and how long to play. Also, the element of luck is not as paramount as in tournaments. That being said, there is nothing in poker that compares to playing The Final Table in a large tournament.

Yes, for me it's a game that keeps me active, it gives me a touch of adrenaline and of course it also puts my mind to work. It's almost a hobby from which I sometimes earn something and not just invest as in hobby acts.

I would definitely still play poker, and I wouldn't knowingly change anything in my life. I'm happy with who I am, and poker has been a part of my experience that added to making me who I am. In fact, poker has played a nice part at both ends of my life.
I was taught to play by my parents when I was eleven or twelve years old. We'd play on Saturday night beginning after the Lawrence Welk Show and ending two hours later when Gunsmoke came on. I have nice memories of that.
When I was sixty five I began playing the 9am Sunday morning tournaments at Foxwoods. I was also beginning a major change in my life, and the other players and cardroom staff made it much easier for me than it might have been otherwise.
I wouldn't change a thing.

For me - absolutely! I love the game. I don't play for big bucks, so I don't risk losing big bucks. That's kind of a plus and minus. I sometimes regret not taking my game to the next level. But, I'm probably too erratic for that anyway.

If I could go back in time, I would have started playing poker right after school and wouldn't have wasted my time on any nonsense
And I'm saying this absolutely seriously.

Good morning everyone, of course, for a few reasons:
Poker used to be easier, imagine how easy it was to make a profit, if today, studying a little is enough to make a profit, and that's at low limits.
I always make a profit and withdraw the money, if I went back in time, I would change that, to increase the limits up to MTT of $20, I never wanted to play high limits.

If I had the opportunity to go back in time, I would definitely not gamble. Instead, I would try to change everything to influence my future. I would have done well at school, gone to university, listened to my parents, and not wasted all my time on people who didn't deserve it.

If I could go back in time, I’d likely still choose to play poker because of the valuable lessons it provides. Poker teaches discipline, patience, emotional control, and critical thinking skills that apply well beyond the game itself. The experience of reading people, managing risks, and making calculated decisions under pressure has been immensely beneficial. Although the highs and lows can be intense, the personal growth and mental resilience developed through poker make it a rewarding pursuit that I wouldn’t want to miss out on, even with its challenges.

If I could go back in time, I would have started playing poker much earlier and definitely become a member of the CardsChat community on the very first day of the game
