Excitement. The pleasure I get while playing is what always makes me come back again and again.
But I must also say that this pleasure directly depends on the size of the possible win.

The right moment to return to poker is determined by psychological readiness, analyzing your mistakes, choosing the right limits, and being willing to learn, as the game is constantly changing, and the best moment is when you are ready to grow, and not just looking to win back.

Certainly, the will to beat other players, always knowing that we only lose to ourselves!!! The race is against our focus and discipline in studies!!!! Good luck always!!!

I come back because poker still challenges me.
Even after bad runs, I feel there’s always something I can improve or do better next time.

What keeps me excited about poker is the constant decision making. Every hand is a small puzzle where math, psychology, and discipline intersect. Even after years of playing, there is always something new to learn, refine, or exploit, and that ongoing improvement is what keeps it engaging for me.

If you had to pick one moment that keeps you coming back to poker, what would it be — and why?
It’s the moment of making the right decision before knowing the result. That split second where you trust your read and logic over luck and pull the trigger.

What keeps me excited is the mental challenge and continuous improvement.
The moment I would choose that makes me come back to poker is the deep satisfaction of making the right decision in a complex situation.

I think it's just because I've played for so long I just don't give it much thought. If I did, I wouldn't.
