I love those moments when I anticipate an approach even before it happens. What brings you the most pleasure at the table?

Predicting moves and making the right decisions is the best part of poker. I enjoy it most when my reads are spot on and lead to a win.🌿😎

Reading someone perfectly feels better. Winning chips is cool, but outplaying them is sweeter.

A good read feels better and usually equals winning chips or saving chips.

Reading the people you are playing against imo is far more better than accumulating chips in the beginning.
Once you've got a read on them the chips will flow in automatically :LOL:

Good reeds feel very satisfying, but winning chips is what you need to take down tournaments.

I get the most satisfaction when my opponent falls into a trap I have prepared. I think the ability to “read your opponents” will always be more important :)

Winning is the thing that gives me more pleasure, it is the main purpose! Of course it is wonderful to study the opponents and understand them, but the victory is the result of many factors like skills of the opponents or study of the game.

I don't feel very happy when I do a perfect reading, but the river shakes hands with my opponent.

It is 50/50 for me reading is harder then you think, and winning chips is always nice!

It's nice to guess the moves, but it's even more pleasant to earn chips

Maybe in life poker, reading the other player perfectly. But in online poker, definitely winning chips.

It's like comparing a pizza and a juicy burger with each other. Which is tastier? Both! Also in poker, when I get chips, I'm happy. When I can read my opponent, I'm happy. When I get both at the same time, I'm doubly happy. :love:

Winning chips, get the stack up, chips means dollars at the end of the day. Not much satisfaction in winning small and reading a player.

Winning chips is great, but understanding your opponent's move beforehand is very rewarding, because it's a sign that you're getting the hang of the game and how other players act.

Definitely reading someone perfectly. The dopamine just hits differently, IMO.

Is this like asking a pro athlete, do you feel good that you played well even though you lost the tournament?

The most important thing for me is to make good, high-quality decisions. Even if luck is not on my side, the most important thing is that the decisions I make are reasonable and correct. I hate my mistakes the most.
