Major poker events

Whenever a major poker event like the wsop or a big online series is happening, I notice it affects my motivation to play. Watching highlights, big hands, or final tables always makes me want to jump into a tournament myself. At the same time, sometimes the coverage feels repetitive after a while. Still, it’s interesting to see how top players handle pressure spots. I’m curious if others feel the same way. Do major poker events still inspire you to play, or do you mostly ignore the hype?

Yes, I feel the same way. When I watch broadcasts of all these live events, I feel the urge to play myself, and I almost always sit down at my "online table" after watching them

I like being in them and grinding

Wpt Global has more event

I love to watch real old school games with old type cameras recording - game was different then.

When I play on my laptop I tend to watch poker live streams on TV in the background though

The balance is too difficult to maintain for long without going crazy. Freedom is a carrot tacked to a donkey—you'll never achieve it. You might achieve a couple of years of peace and quiet, but then the end will be far more profound.Playing poker is an opportunity. If you're lucky enough to find a moment, a game, or develop your brain in a way that allows you to make a lot of money playing poker, seize your chance to gain true freedom and stop being a slave to the grind, and instead make real money.
