No, poker for me is plus money! I fundamentally do not spend money on buy-ins, I do not do rebuys and add-ons in satellites. I play poker without investing money. Therefore, I am a plus player and everything that happens in poker makes me money. Big money? No. Although I have some good cash wins in my poker history. A few participations in the WCOOP Main Event, Sunday Million, Sunday Storm and the Fenomeno tournaments on pokerstars. But I didn't have any significant success in those tournaments. There were some minor prize money, which was significant for me because I didn't invest a cent in buy-ins.
Never financially. I never took a financial risk to play. If someone is in this situation, they should be very careful, as they are on the verge of or already in addiction. And every addiction, whatever it may be, is bad for human beings.
I never spent more on a game than I could afford. I have been playing poker for more than 12 years, and for me poker is a great hobby that always brings me pleasure. Poker is a completely safe game for normal, adequate players. As for the abnormal and inadequate, there is nothing safe for such people.
Thankfully this has not happened to me. I enjoy poker but if you think about it the only way that you can truly be profitable in this sport is not your ability to pay poker it is more bankroll management. Anyone can win at poker sometimes even the worst player can beat the best player it all depends how your cards come out after the flop. But if you are a great player and lose to the bad ones sometimes that is too much to handle and you keep investing and losing your bankroll, that is when the problem comes in. Just keep an eye on your bankroll it will go up and down, but the main thing is that it go up more than down a little at a time. Be patient and don't let the bad times get you down and you end up losing your bankroll and then start getting loans after loans and so on. Good luck at the tables.
Poker can become detrimental from the moment you lose control and become greedy, conceited, vindictive and end up humiliating a competitor
