For me, poker is the time spent on a profitable vacation. And play and pulse rate can be a good. Money by itself is never a hindrance.

Poker is a hobby. So to treat it you need respectively. To play yet fun. Tired of throw.

Recently Ive read an article about human psychologic.They say how to know whether your job or way of earning is really favourite activity of whole life.There were several points:
1.U can read and learn about it in order to become prof in that sphere and get a lot of joy!
2.U want to tell your friends and everybody about it and share all stacks of emotions.
3.U can be wrapped in it and dont even notice how time flows!
4.U do it and money is not your first aim ,moreover you think that your personality proves.
!!!So if u have such points about poker or something else it is easy to say that this is your life-time-job!)Agree???😃

Yes, such work was that on all points coincide.
Pro poker is such that I can not say 100%. But everything goes in this direction. Over time, the start points confirmed.

I'm using poker as an opportunity to work on discipline. I'll see how it goes :)

I'm trying to focus on studying a certain amount each day and then playing a certain amount. I want to build up my ability to focus for long periods and maintain my concentration.

Yesterday I made a simple math. 400 000 USD is the first place prize for the winner at the Christmas Monday Million. In my country I work for 1100 USD monthly. Let us round it to 1000. These are 12000 yearly. 400 000 divided by 12000 are 33 years. I can live 33 years without working 10 hours a day 26 days a month. I guess for these 33 years I will win at least 1 tournament with a first place prize = 100 000 which will add some more years. The point is it could be your lifetime job.

Poker is just a hobby in my life at the moment, but i'll surely try to become succesfull in some regional tournaments. Overall i think some ppl have way more texture to play poker without studying a lot, in my case i think that ill need to study a lot. hahaha

Interesting point, I dont see it as a job mainly because I dont make money like the pro players, but when the money starts to come in you begin to develop more passion for it, even if money isn't your main goal, just the fact that you can make a living out of it is fascinating, unfortunally im a little bit far from making that kind of money.

Poker is passion for me since i have started playing poker i've been focusing towards learning more and more rather than earning money out of this... It gives confidence and belief on myself and my decisions .

Maybe you don't have bills to pay to say that.

Poker is my hobbie number one! And my 2nd method of income after the work.



Me too . The best hobby ever . Although the last days I 've taken things a lot more seriously and have started studying my hands , theory , try to improve to get sth better of it (more than just a hobby ). Everyday I 'm reading articles for hours (3 hours at least,thanks god at weekends I have a lot more time) , theory and game/play everyday for one week now , and it's only the beginning ... So much to learn , but I have patience ...

If you like poker it is surely for you. Just study the mode you want to play before you start playing. Every game has its rules, whether board, or any other. So have all the rules decorated and start practicing with free games, and once you feel ready you start to invest money.

I have a lot of friends fascinated by poker! I think poker is smart game, which at the same time have a lot of risk

and of hope that I almost admire him!:)

Poker is very risky.Once I read a story about Negreanue and when he was 20 or little more he played in restricted club and many games ended with a gun at somebodies head)))that were his memories but it is really good that poker is legally now and widespread))))

I'd be lying if I said that I'm not playing poker for money and rare are those who play the "play money," everyone wants as much money, so it is natural :)
how many hours just sprinkle playing poker, it has to be paid ;)

Poker is for me, for you, for everyone, but I would be excluded from this robot, let them make their own game ...

Poker is a swingy, variance-filled game. You can win for months without actually being a winning player.
Conversely you can be an awesome player yet still lose for a month or more. It’s just part of the game.
These swings are inevitable. You might think that you can handle downswings well, but when poker is your only source of income downswings can take an especially hard mental toll.
