Good morning, everyone!
That’s a good question.
I love playing poker, and I believe I wouldn’t play it anymore if it were forbidden to play for money.
Interestingly, I also love playing chess — I play every day — but I’ve never played chess for money; I play it just for fun.
I play poker because it provides me with an income. Before, I used to work on the beach in Copacabana selling grilled cheese skewers, but I stopped because I earn more playing poker with much less effort. Poker has changed my life for the better — not just financially, but mainly in terms of work quality.
Now, I work sitting down, sometimes in front of the air conditioner. I play for a few hours, and that’s it — I can make a modest but sufficient income. When I worked on the beach, I had to face temperatures of up to 40°C, while people were having fun and I was working.
With poker, I can choose the days I want to play — and, above all, I truly enjoy it.
