Love this question

I have played online and live for many years now. I am now retired. My past work involved huge budgets, data mining, statistics, and planning.

Now that I am retired, poker has become more important. It keeps my skills up. Math, statistics, data mining, planning and studying more. So, you see it is very important and fun. It keeps my skills alive, it gives me a little money on the side (Christmas was several hundred this year), it keeps my mind active and it is FUN!!!

When I discovered CardsChat, it helped open the world up even more for me. Most important thing I was missing with other sites was the friendship and communication. It brings it all into focus and makes my "old" world more enjoyable and my poker world more challenging.I am very thankful as those who run CC know.

I look at how money has destroyed celebrity and lottery winners' lives. Yes, I have won some, but never look to get rich. If I happen to be one of the lucky, skilled ones that one day, somehow, I find my way into the wsop or another major event, I really do not know how I would handle the shock and miracle of it all.

Answering the question, to become wealthy at the most loved thing I do during my day, would be one of the biggest dreams of my life, but it is just a dreamy goal. I play to keep my skill set up, my mind active, a little Christmas money, and most important....the FRIENDSHIP.

Thank you for asking.

I play for pleasure but in my brain there is one point which thinks about winnings and winnings in a row, thats why I get always very nervous when J 5 wins me when I have AK or AA or AQ or AJ )))

Hardly play any more and when I do it is micro-stakes. For me, it is not to get rich. Always enjoyed cards and glad to say poker is one of them.

For me the end game is to become rich from playing poker. But I have had that dream since I was very young. So I plan to really enjoy the ride along the way!

poker and wealth

I play poker for fun only live, and to get rich I play online, If I were rich, I wouldn’t play more online games, but focused only on major tournaments live. When you play at the table with real people, then you willy-nilly get to know them, chat, exchange useful life information. You get great psychological and emotional pleasure from this. It is much more interesting than the constant monotonous gloomy game near the monitor. You see your opponents, you can collect information about them, adapt to them, etc. This is a sea of ​​positive, pleasant conversations, real smiles, deeper and more exciting game !!!!:elefant::elefant::elefant:

I play poker for money. Of course, I play for money. But my priorities are a bit different. I need a steady income from poker for several years to create my own business. If I won millions of dollars, I would still play poker, but on average and at low limits in online trading and sometimes in live tournaments to cover daily expenses.

Not as much but I still would every now and then.

My poker goal is to be a winning player. I can't be rich if I am not a winning player.

In general, learning to play is not difficult, it is difficult to make a game with your earnings. You need to understand that only 5% of poker players play “plus”, the remaining 95% lose.

For me, poker is a set of pleasures, I get the adrenaline I lose or win, because I like poker, but the money is not fun last

I would play poker around the world

If I were rich I would find some poker tournaments in the places I travel.
Travel first, then play poker.
