I play to keep my hope of becoming rich alive :) haha


I have notes on you from back in 2013. You were crushing back then! ... and back when player pools were large ... ie. a 1st & 2nd in the Big $109, a 2nd, 3rd, & 4th in the Big $162
That's pretty awesome imo!
gl on becoming rich! I'm hoping to join you :) (first I need to get out of the gutter)

I play because I love poker and of course a cash prize would be a nice bonusI try to play in different tournaments, for example, in free ones, I learn to play with those who play for luck, analyze. In card chat, they play more meaningfully, a different type of game

Hi all!

I like to play poker, I like the "sporty" challenge of achieving good results. Plus the incentive to earn some money. I guess to evade reality a bit too haha :D :ah4:

Luck of kings for all :kh4::qh4:

I found Omaha hi/lo the most entertaining, Try to play it the most. I play also Hold'em and regular Omaha. I used to play all the Studs, but I'm out of shape right now :D

Prefer NLH tournament, not as interested in NL cash games. Like 2-7 draw and PLO as cash games though.

Is it for fun or money? Often we think it's for one but our actions say something entirely different. If both, how do we balance that?:wavey::D



for fun, and you can still make money, and like playing football, any other fun, and you can make money, and even more you can earn in health, vital energy, beauty, intelligence and benefits for life, fun fun fun , and more fun!

I will always be a fun player, I do like winning but who doesn't? I enjoy the Adrenalin buzz from an all-in situation, and will get it in with the best hand some of the time and have pocket Aces cracked every now and again or KK against JJ and bust out to his quad Jacks but Hey! that's Poker. It would not be fun if we could win every hand.
To become a professional player like any Professional sportsman you need dedication and hard work, I am too old now to start but I enjoy the game and if someone thinks I am a Donk! or a Fish! that's fine. I know I am a winner some of the time because my bankroll is on the up, and as long as it keeps going in that direction I am doing fine.

When the Fun Stops, STOP!

Because I like the game, it is fun and apart from that it helped me a little with the earnings since the situation in my country is difficult, some financial help is always good.

I am playing poker because I feel amongst folks that have common interests. I am retired. Poker adds a great deal of enjoyment for me. Thank you.

I play for Hobbie, encerio and for money I play live, there if I warm up if I lose, but always with the same obvious face, we get together among friends, but playing, I play for fun, if the fun is lost it is no longer a game.

I began playing poker tournaments just over two years ago because I enjoy being involved in competitive individual sports. Previously I have competed in shooting leagues, both rifle and shotgun, and also three or four years in a golf league. I'd enjoyed playing poker since I was young so I figured that tournament poker would be fun...and I was right! :)

There's nothing more invigorating than matches wits with other individuals, and nothing better when you know you've bested them (can substitute bested with busted!).

I play because sometimes I get distracted from my problems and I also find new friends and, in principle, this is my hobby, and sometimes I even win $ money, so I like to play poker. :) :) :)

I play just for fun. My biggest buy in tournament has been $20.
I should try take it a little more serious and learn at least outs, pot odds and EV.


That's why I just look for freerolls to play.
