Message: [QUOTE="TheShek, post: 4266663, member: 308407"] I play poker as a hobby and pastime, but also to win. It's a semi serious hobby that I'm now taking more seriously as my circumstances have changed. I play mainly tournament poker so you really have to love the game to come back day after day to know you're going to lose most of the games you play. It's those deep runs, the games where everything works, where all of the hard work I put in comes together when my reads are spot on, my timing is perfect and I end up with all the chips that keeps me coming back. The challenge to constantly improve, to move up in stakes and adjust my play to be competitive, it's truly a wonderful challenge for me to have from my couch. I have a chronic illness which keeps me at home a lot, so it's perfect for me. [/QUOTE]
