Why do we play poker?

[Xcalibur]

Winning with intuition and bluffing is the first step. Hold'em, as the most popular and easy version of poker, doesn't seem easy to develop skills. Real players with their own strategies and the random factor complicate the gameplay. Raising rates and trading are already a kind of “mafia game”, where opponents use both psychology and mathematics. It's hard to say what's more in a high-stakes game.

The emotions that this game gives us are truly beautiful

When at get-togethers for fun. In the rest of the time to earn money.

I started playing poker to get out of my alcohol addiction.

Instead of spending money in pubs on alcohol, I started spending in casinos on tournaments and cash games.
Thanks to this game, I learned to control my emotions, learned to live in acceptance, trained my dyspline.

I love this game

how can you not win a single pot in 3 hours of play yes it's not possible maybe you just folded every hand then yes it's not possible but in other cases I think you could win the bank:RJU CAN'T: why do we play poker someone likes to just have time or have fun and spend time playing someone loves competitions someone loves money poker earnings many just have a habit of playing so everyone has different I play to test mine level of play among global players

On friday night I was playing 2/4 limit at Ballys Casino in Atlantic City, I sat down and played for about three hours. In those three hours I didnt win a single pot(no exageration). I understand that some people just have bad luck but over three hours of playing it just made me kind of upset. I started to wonder why I played poker. Someone post soemthing that tells me this kind of bad luck has happened to someone else.

I love sports in general. Now I play a lot of tennis and no matter how strange it may sound, but a lot of what works, let's say in chess or poker, also applies to playing on the court. One smart person said that tennis is chess in motion, I would say the same about poker. I think this is my answer to your question.

I already played professionally, today I dedicate myself more to my investments.

Probably in poker, about everyone has the same goals, but poker is harsh, for some one game is enough, for others it takes years, so you need to wait in the wings.

For me, I play for fun and for a little money to win and it was a sport that I adapted to this day I'm in it!

 

[bermejoga]

I play because I really like the game and it's fun to me!
