I have been playing poker since 1955 or 1956. And, I play to win money.
During all these years, I have lost no money. But, have won very little also. Probable because I am a very conservible player, and only play in small games.

Good luck on the Tables.

Mike

I play since 2006 and for fun, but I play seriously. There is a beer or two and I play without thinking of great win. My wins are small, but I lose small too. I'm relaxing this couple of hours per week.

played since 2008, I'd say I've been very strict with myself too even though I'm winning very well, I stick the same limits, however trying to discipline myself the other way now and build a bankroll from scratch, and then play higher limits.

I haven't lost any money in all these years. But very few survived. Probably because I'm a very conservative player and only play small games.

Good luck at the tables.

Good luck to you too! I would like to read some incredible story or an instructive one.

Like playing cards is why poker is something I participate in. Playing for money is added benefit.

I haven’t been playing quite that long. I’d shout “Holy Crap Batman that’s a LONG time!”, but that wouldn’t be nice. May you play many more years! :):) … and enjoy your time at Cardschat!

I've been playing poker for about 6-7 years. I have pretty good results. But in general, poker is just a hobby for me.

I play poker because it is a game that de-stresses you in your daily work, which is usually routine and repetitive, it gives you a bit of adrenaline to bet and see who has the winning hand, sometimes I play it under pressure I am not going to lie to you but in the In most cases, I play it for fun and to get a little extra money, which is not bad, in addition to calming down, mitigating stress or emotional tension. It helps me a lot to play and bet.

Since I met the poker I fell in love with this beautiful sport, I think every day I like it more, I play poker because I like it very much, and thanks to it I have been able to get great profits, and I think everyone could do the same.

Nothing wrong with being comfortable in the limits you play - even if just micros :)
Sure, you won't win much at all, but you don't lose much at all either, so it just depends what you play poker for; sounds like you've got a good setup for you :)

Whether gambling, whether an exciting sport - one way or another, today poker is becoming one of the very popular entertainment. Unpredictability is what distinguishes poker from many other games in the first place. Calculation and luck coexist organically here, and this makes the game exciting, which is why this game attracts me.

How cool, mange12345!
I've been playing poker since 2008. I play as an amateur and my focus is on freerolls where I can build a small bankroll to continue participating in other tournaments.

I've been playing poker for about 10 years and I still enjoy playing, especially after I get home after work, it's phenomenal, it relieves me and helps me a lot to get through a hard day's work :)

I've been playing poker for around 20 years and like it just as much as I did in the beginning maybe even more. It doesn't matter what level you play, the main thing is that you feel comfortable there because the first place should be fun

I also have no losses in my entire playing career. I've been playing for about 10 years, maybe more. There are no losses, probably because I prefer to play on freerolls. Although a little pocket money, there are no losses.

I learned the rules of poker about 4 years ago, but all the time except for the last 5 months I played for play money with huge breaks. Now I mainly play for fun, but that the game brings in some money, which is cool.

I play poker because it is an exciting game. But still for me it's just a game, not a source of profit.

An interesting, intellectual game that gives a lot of different emotions, positive or negative. Well, the opportunity to win real money is always good.
