Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen! I thought about what leads people to poker? A way to earn money, excitement or just hanging out. I played chess well in the past, once decided to try the game of backgammon, and I’ll tell you the experience in chess came in handy, after a couple of years I became understand all the subtleties of this game and play well. For several years, I saw a game of poker on TV, the point of the game was that the amateur was given money to play with professional players, if the amateur won beyond what he was given to him, the program was called "Dark Horse" In one and An amateur could win more than $ 30,000 from the programs. It is worth noting that the time for the game is limited. So I decided to try poker, I thought it was useful to use the skill of chess, but alas. I do not play offline (nowhere), I visit online regularly and gain experience but I noticed that many people play without freeroll in freeroll tournaments, All-in is from any hand, such a game undermines the true interest in the game and in order to meet adequate players you need to at least enter the prize area, and this is with so many participants not always work. I read a lot of recommendations on the game poker, but this does not compare personal experience, so my training moves slowly, but I pursue sports interest, so there is no hurry. I wish everyone good luck. Best regards, Sergey

That's cool, I've always wanted to build on my chess expertise, but there are some AMAZING chess players, so I don't even try.:)

Just wanted to give you something to think about, so you don't completely write off free rolls. I completely agree that there are bad players in free entry tournaments, and this is why they are easier to win. You don't have to fall for the shove traps. You can use strategy to defeat the all in players.

Anyways, I wish you the best, and hope you enjoy you time here in the forum.

sincerely what excites me in poker and being able to get into the opponent's mind and try to understand why each action, gives a very good feeling of ability, of course that making money is very good but if that were just why I don't think I would have so many players and every day more people playing

Cool question! For me, it started as a fun thing to do in College that was a lot more stimulating than going to a standard frat party [emoji23]

I’m sure that people come to poker because of its apparent simplicity and the ability to seriously improve their finances. The realization that this is far from being done comes later. During this time, most people get addicted to this game as a drug. Poker is at the same time very simple and very difficult game. In short, addictive!

As someone who plays chess as much as poker, have to say that both attracted me for the same reason - intelligence behind the games, behind the decision making and the outcome of them.

I started playing poker with my friends. We just knew about the game and the rules, but haven't really watched it or learned it, it was all for fun. While playing, I fell in love, and also figured that I am waaaaay better then them. So I started playing more serious, found some poker rooms, afterwards started playing online and now here I am - playing a game that I love as a hobby with a solid profit :)
