this line is tenuous, it is very easy to fall into addiction.

i like to play just for leisure. play with friends. I had a financial return, but I don't plan on living on it. maybe in retirement, an extra and a leisure.

Indeed, above all, we must be responsible for our mental, financial, and family health!

Hi, friend!
I think it's simple: I just really like poker)
Players who only consider poker as a way to make money can quickly get frustrated)

I have a mild addiction and i understand it.
It helps me to clearly regulate my finances to possible deposits and regular freerolls.
I can’t know for sure, so I just believe and follow the goal to enter a stable profitable game.

I play for pleasure, which brings in income, so I get double the pleasure.

Hello Poker fans,

The game of poker is great fun. It is also very challenging since it involves reading people and some mathematics. One of the main reasons that I play is to develop my skill so that I have the option of going pro in my retirement years. If it turns out that I do well and land a huge tournament before that, then so be it. I like playing games and keeping my options open.

Right now, my weakness is discipline and bankroll management. So, I am presently working on that part of my game.

I do not think there is an addiction on my part, but the more you play the greater your chances of falling prey to it. I simply avoid investing my own money into the game. I either put my winnings from live games or play freerolls. It is a long hard road but I am willing to travel it!

See you at the tables. :cool:

Very good! thank you for the comments.

I personally have played a lot of freeroll tournaments and there are a few real money tables and small buy-in tournaments. In that sought to study to develop the game. I have obtained excellent results, combining leisure and time and financial return. Hope to see you at the tables!

I play for money, the idea that with little money you can achieve a lot is good and when you see that it can be achieved with effort and dedication it is an incentive, I really like poker I am passionate about it, I can understand that people play it for fun but it is not My case

For me, poker is primarily entertainment. I just love this game and that's the main reason why I play. Of course, money is also important to me, but my main motivation is the enjoyment of the game.
