Message: [QUOTE="Joe, post: 6750224, member: 193663"] To adequately describe how and why I [B]love [/B]poker, in all it's [I]simple [/I]yet capriciously-chaotic beauty, I would quite likely have to write a book. Of all the books I fantasise about writing, I think [I]that particular one [/I]would be read by the least amount of imaginary people... 😅 Hopefully the imaginary people that [I]did[/I] read it enjoyed it at least, especially after all that imaginary effort spent writing it! :rolleyes: However, as this is a forum (and not my own personal mind palace*), I'll endeavour to provide an answer which is genuine and succinct (someday). Working in my favour with regards to being concise is your question containing the operative word 'most'... Otherwise people could be stuck reading this post for [I]an eternity[/I]**! :ROFLMAO: It's difficult to chose [I]one[/I] favourite thing about poker (like choosing a song or movie you love the most) as there is just so much about it to adore, but as I mull it over now and consider the [I]ultimate[/I] aspect... For me I think it has to be the pure, competive, [B][SIZE=6]challenge[/SIZE][/B]. Poker is a sport that is not only difficult to play well, but also remains challenging (and in a variety of ways becomes [I]even more testing[/I]) as your skill and knowledge increases. There is always more to learn and room for improvement. Not to mention that as you get better and move up through the stakes of course the opponents become tougher. Add to that the chance element and the result is even if you are one of the best players in the world, games against other pros and high rollers will still be (more often than not) very difficult. A lot of things become boring for me rather quickly, at this stage it's unimaginable poker will ever lose it's appeal or charm. Mainly for the reasons above but also many others. Some honourable mentions; Poker... 1.)...was a pivotal crutch in helping me turn my life around and assisted in kicking certain [I]rather[/I] bad habits to the curb. 2.)...is very much like a microcosm of life. Realising such helped me see, and gave new understanding to, issues in my life. 3.)...is [I]a card game[/I]. Since early childhood I have been enchanted with playing cards and love a variety of card games learned and played at different stages of life. Poker will now probably forever be my pick of the lot! 4.)...not only provides an outlet for characteristics I have elimanted from my behaviours in life [I]away [/I]from the tables, but also seems beneficial [I]at [/I]the felts and I seemingly have always had somewhat of a [I]flair[/I] for... :ROFLMAO: Now, incase anyone thinks this post isn't monumental, or hasn't [I]broken it down[/I], enough (c wut I did thar?) at this stage I have decided to change my mind and actually 'the challenge' nor [B]none[/B] of the above reasons are my favourite so if you could please quickly unread all that. :giggle: What I like most about poker is [B][U]it brought me to [B]CardsChat[/B][/U][/B] of course!!! ;) ❤️ *[SIZE=2]In which I am free to create and store pretty much [/SIZE][I][SIZE=2]anything[/SIZE][/I]! :love: **[SIZE=2]Not to mention the several eternities stuck drafting, redrafting and editing it[/SIZE]!
