and One bad thing about poker: It can become addictive.

I second that. I would argue that variance is the only thing that keeps us coming back. It's like how watching live sports is so much better than regular media. If anything can happen, sometimes anything will happen!

The good thing is to learn to deal with people who are totally spiritually compromised by the shadows of arrogance, greed, vanity, ego, foolishness and illusion.

The bad thing is that you can get lost and become like them if you don't learn.

The good thing is that poker is both a great entertainment and an opportunity to make money. The bad thing is that it takes so much time to play, a lot of time. Sometimes I feel like I'm playing full-time.

Good thing - it's a strategy game played vs. other poker players

BAD thing - it's a strategy game played vs. other poker players

I haven't seen an interesting thread for a long time, but I really like this one! So, I'll try to answer as honestly as possible. The good thing about poker is the hope for a money-secured future. The bad thing about poker is the time I waste that I could be spending with my family. :unsure:

One advantage of poker is that it is a very democratic sport and allows professionals and amateurs to participate in the same tournament. The disadvantage is that, if the player is not careful, the game can become addictive.

The good thing is that poker can bring money :)
The bad thing is that poker can take away money :)
I think everyone decides for themselves what kind of poker should be for them, good or bad. For me, poker is a good thing :)

One good thing is that you choose your moves, but one bad thing is that luck is one of the main factors of the game.
