If poker didn't exist, we wouldn't have seen some interesting movies.
If poker didn't exist, perhaps other online gambling games wouldn't be so popular either, or conversely, they would become mega popular.
If poker didn't exist, I would have more free time for slots, roulette, blackjack, and less money.

I learned about poker relatively late, and I'll play other card games instead.

If poker had never existed, our lives would be very boring, and someone would have come up with this incredible card game anyway. ;)

If poker didn't exist, I would focus all my attention on sports betting. In my opinion, this is a very promising area, especially if you have an analytical mind and know the sport you are betting on well.

The smart ones likely would be playing more chess , and the gamblers might be tossing the dice in backgammon . Both are quite challenging as well , and you can study for a lifetime !

If poker didn't exist, I’m convinced Chess would be the undisputed king of that hill, but it would have a much darker, 'underground' edge to it. Without poker to satisfy that itch for gambling and reading people, people would have probably turned Chess into a high-stakes betting game long ago

Intelligence, are you serious? Some people will gamble on anything so any number of card games.

I recently read a book called "ikigai" and within it I discovered that poker is my hobby. I can't imagine a life without poker now; I truly enjoy this game, and above all, it has helped me improve emotionally and mentally in an important aspect of my life.

Poker is a game of decisions, not emotions.
