I feel that poker has given me a good first hobby. It has bring me joy and pain over the years from playing online or in real life. I like poker a lot. I've meet different people playing the game and like to hear the stories people tell when you play live poker. So many people have interesting lives they tell wonderful stories. It gives me something to do in my spare time that I have. The waiting for things to come in life goes easier now that I started playing poker. My life would be empty without this great game being in it. It also helps me in raising a child to be patient.

Before Black Friday, I was able to make a decent living playing online. But the amount I played, and the excess of multi-tabling I did had a negative effect on my brain. I think I needed a long break after 5 years of doing that. Last year I started playing some online. It was for something to do in the long cold winter months. This time around I am able to enjoy it, now that it is for fun. And I have had some good successes.

Hello.
Poker helps me to be more disciplined.
In addition, poker allows me to always be in a tone.
I have the impression that my brain started to work better.

Fun hobby that brings in a little extra cash. More patience and discipline, been going to the gym more recently since I started playing, and trying to organize my time. Writing down my goals for the month/week/day and visualize them happening.

Poker has helped me no longer get upset by trivial negative occurrences in my everyday life. I used to let bad things affect me too much mentally, but since having had countless bad beats I am able to remain positive regardless of what minor issues might take place during my day :)

Poker has taught me to use EV (expected value) in real life decisions. I also use Pot odds to make decisions along with a long view. This has allowed me to take the emotion out of a lot of decisions.

For me, poker means that I forget about the problems I have, when I focus on the game, I'm just in it, and I'm not thinking of anything else.

Thanks to poker, I am more focused on important points, both in the game and in life.
In addition, poker always allows me to relax from my main work. And most importantly, poker brings me pleasure and sometimes money.
Good luck.

Having played enough time, I improved my analytical skills and data processing. It is an extremely fruitful time, when you are sitting at the table, analyzing others` decisions, and making your conclusion. The best feeling is when your conclusions justify more and more frequently.
