Message: [QUOTE="afecho, post: 6431520, member: 485377"] I started playing last year for fun, and I want to keep it fun so take breaks from it often. The current Ontario changes have caused me to take an even bigger break than I planned but I'll hopefully find something I enjoy again in the fall. As far as money goes, there was a newbie promotion that I paid $20 and PokerStars matched that $20 and over the year I kept myself in the green winning $150ish. For me it's a hobby that I justified that first $20 as entertainment costs (if I went to the movies or some other outing it would easily cost me that) so I was ok paying for that entertainment. Who knew I'd pick up pretty quick on how to play and manage to keep my head above water! Just adds to the fun of it for me though. I'm not trying to make money at poker. [/QUOTE]
