Do you ever get the feeling while you're playing poker that you're sabotaging your time and you could be doing something more fulfilling? (despite all the love for poker)

Before - 4-6 hours every day. Now I play less, for 2-3 hours and not every day.

It is important to remember that gambling can be addictive, and one should always approach it with a clear mind. Play responsibly.

For me right now, I feel like I'm doing something fun and also brings me profits, although it's not big, but I aspire to learn a lot and I don't think playing poker is a waste of time .

Hi, that’s right, because you should be have selfcontrol, you don’t let that poker will become stressed and have schedule to play more effective, don’t forget to learn, practice a lot, be patient and improve from your mistakes.
Good luck

At times I feel like I'm spending more time in the forum than in playing poker.:)

I'm not very into poker and I try to spend a minimum of time satisfying my interests.

The truth is that I don't... I enjoy poker and it's not wasted time, on the contrary, time is valuable because I enjoy it!! respects

During the moments of bad periods in poker, my breaks themselves become longer and I endure them with ease. I developed such habits by reading messages in Cardschat on about the same topics of posts. Well, if the game is perfect, then I'm ready to play for a long time and almost without interruptions.

There is such a feeling. That's why I'm aiming to get into the middle limit

Sometimes I've felt that, especially when things aren't going well in poker

Yes, poker is a game that takes a lot of time and few people like it even the players themselves who love poker very much, but what can you do yes sometimes I think that I spend a lot of time playing poker but it has its advantages so we try to hold on and play poker to the end

Allmost every time, when i play poker, i have that feeling. For example: I can go out or play with the dog...

It's weird...

But playing poker can also be more fulfilling.

Lately there is no time to play a lot of poker, and it’s quite normal to think so, when you played to zero or minus, then this time could be spent on something else, such is any work where time is our resource.

There are days that I think about that, but I made a decision a couple of years ago to only play poker when I have nothing else to do (like I would probably use the time to watch tv, which is a useless time too).

I only play when I have both time & desire to play & if I find I have made a mistake about the available, I walk away from the table. Easy for me to say, of course, I am a recreational player. I certainly have delusions, exploited on a regular basis by my poker opponents, but none about the importance of family & friends & their importance relative to poker.

No. I only play when I have time and never play over that limit.

Hi.
Sometimes such a feeling appeared, it is true. But I can't work 24 hours a day. For me, poker is a kind of recreation, entertainment after work.

This time of year I am so busy on the farm that I really shouldn't play poker at all but i sneak in some poker on my lunch breaks and coffee breaks. I figure out at the beginning of the day when the ACR streamer freerolls run for the day and then time my breaks exactly when late reg ends. I then try and double or triple up and get enough chips for a min cash and then its back out to the field or garden i go. Surprisingly I get a lot of min cashes this way and have good entertainment for a half hour or so. So many people think I am the absolute worst poker player ever since I go all in with complete garbage constantly.

For years it was not a problem for me. Actually 3-4 months ago totally burned out & I started to feel that enough is enough. I can only be able to continue playing some hours of poker if my life apart from the tables is really active and fulfilling.

No, I probably never regretted the time I spent playing poker, because I usually play when I have all the important things done and have free time.
