What keeps you going in poker?

[john_entony]

Hello guys I play poker every day and I have not reached to the point where I can make a living from it. That’s my goal, but I guess other people play poker for different reasons , I have a love for the game I would play for free this is what keeps me going. So what keeps you going ?

I play poker because I have no other way to make money in my country. As sad as it may sound. My field of work, in which I worked for more than 10 years, disappeared due to military actions, so I have no other way but to try to survive by making money online. So far, the money I earn from poker is enough to buy some food and pay some Internet and phone bills.

Me too trying to survive.

Honestly, I never started playing poker to make a living from it, I only do it recreationally and lately I haven't even been playing. I think CC's departure from Pokerstars conspired against that.

I agree ☝️

What keeps many players going in poker is the blend of strategy, competition, and the thrill of the game. The constant challenge of outsmarting opponents, improving skills, and refining strategies provides a sense of growth and accomplishment. For some, it's about the pursuit of profit, with the potential for financial reward fueling their passion. For others, it's the mental stimulation and the ability to learn from every session, win or lose. The excitement of big hands, memorable plays, and the social aspect of poker often make it an addictive, lifelong pursuit.

Deep.

People always tend to strive to become the best, to achieve a certain goal, and playing poker they want to achieve something, and maybe become the best.

I enjoy the game.

It's the perfect mix between luck and strategy.
It wouldn't be as popular if there was no money at stake, so gambling is a big part of it.

When the card are dealt, I want to destroy people.

 

[antonis32123]

It's a hobby . As long as I keep on having an interest on it , I will keep on playing

I do like the game, but if my only option was play money poker I think I would rarely would play and probably would only play live poker with friends. I play because it's a hobby that can give me an extra money.

Poker pros are normal people too, they just play a better strategy than most players

Olá pessoal, eu jogo pôquer todos os dias e ainda não cheguei ao ponto em que consigo viver disso. Esse é meu objetivo, mas acho que outras pessoas jogam pôquer por motivos diferentes, eu adoro o jogo, eu jogaria de graça, é isso que me faz continuar. Então, o que faz você continuar?

Poker compared to life has many similarities, because each decision made, right or wrong, makes us go further or stand in the way... so this makes me reflect on everything and also seek more and more knowledge.
