Unfortunately, there are fewer interesting topics, but my bankroll is periodically replenished and this is already pleasing.:)

Going on 9 years now with CardsChat.
For me it was about the loneliness I felt from becoming a poker player late in life.
All my close family and friends did not want to talk about poker.
And then joining CC, reading through the forum, and just giving my opinion changed my life.
I don't feel so lonely anymore.
CC is like the glue that keeps poker players together.

From a financial point of view, winning $20-50 in these games is not that difficult; There are a lot of interesting things on the forum.

It's nice to get lots of information, and it's nice to be able to do frequent pre-rolls

I now have access to a lot of fun freerolls that I did not have previously and I have also been exposed to a lot more perspectives when it come to poker strategy. All of that is very cool. Glad to have it.
success on your journey, thanks for sharing your opinion

The forum inspires the game, provides information and communication.It's really cool when a person isn't ashamed of his reality, no matter how illogical it may seem to others.Wisdom comes with years and experience, here on the forum many have gained experience and confidence in their judgments.In general, I can compare myself, how exactly "lived years" affect the reel and possibly the gaming experience. Because I remember well my states and attitude to this or that at the tables at 25 years old and at 36 years old and now at 57 years old.
The forum is a powerful space not just for sharing strategies but for personal growth too. It's refreshing to see people being open about their journey, both in life and in the game. Experience really does shape how we approach things, not just technically but emotionally and mentally as well. I can relate to what you said about how your mindset at the tables has evolved over the years. It’s a reminder that growth in the game often mirrors growth in life.

Playing better freerolls against better players really improves your game.

Hello Caio, I also share this feeling. I also consider CardsChat to be the best and biggest poker forum. If I have any skills and achievements, I learned them here. My gratitude to CardsChat and everyone who makes CC the best.

Well, I love games, and poker is the greatest card game, IMHO. I was forced into early retirement :p, moved 4 provinces away from my people and I had to stay isolated. So, on top of giving me the belief in my game and the daily practice, CC gave me peace of mind. I still feel like I am a part of this world, and it is the amazing friends I made here that give me daily interactions and a sense of belonging.

I have my lifetime friends/family, but this is my online community and I love it. Clearly there are idiots wherever you go, but this is social media with the least amount of drama or fakeness or when there is, it is mostly funny.

Endless gratitude to those who put this on for us and well wishes to everyone on and off the felts.
I think that when I asked this question, I wanted to hear something similar to what you said, this idea of belonging, friendship and sincerity, there are many things that I feel and cannot express and when I ask a question here at CC sometimes the answers explain what I feel and do not know how to express, another good thing that CC gives me, what I feel is shared with many other people.

I made wonderful friends, learned poker and started my Br career with freerolls training with excellent players.
CardsChat provided decently structured slow-paced freerolls with actually reasonable payouts to me. Would have still been grinding these unbearable mega turbo freerolls with 0.5$ as the first prize if not for them.

The field level is also great and helps develop skills to win.

I loved your observation, sometimes I wonder why my good results are related to specific times of the year, it seems cyclical, I don't know how to explain it but at specific times of the year I have greater emotional balance.

The biggest change for me is being part of a community. I feel more motivated to study and play. It’s great to see others sharing hands and experiences.

Apart from fracturing my wrist in June 2020, quite a few things, not all of them bad.

I feel as if I have daily cycles as well. Mornings I crush but if i play too long the earnings drop off hard

I've definitely met a whole new group of nice people from the four corners of the earth. 💖 Finding a community like this was a blessing. :)

The big change in my life was something someone said while responding to a post not long after I joined her in November of 2020. I began playing the Sunday morning $60 tournaments at Foxwoods in October of 2018, and had become a regular at them. Then that came to an abrupt end when Covid raised it's ugly head in March of 2020. After that I was limited to playing online, not just for the practice I'd been using it for, but for playing poker period. :( Then someone in a post said that they used to deal in...New Hampshire!

I had no idea that they even had casinos up there, let alone poker rooms. I immediately did some web searching and discovered that there was one in Manchester, which is only about two hours twenty minutes from home. :) On Saturday I was going up there anyways on one of my triannual cigarette runs, so after picking up my smokes at the Market Basket in South Nashua I took a ride up to the Filotimo (now Revo) casino. I played a cash game, six handed due to Covid, liked the place, so the following weekend I went up and played a tourney. :)

Since then I go up about once a month for two days and play tournaments at two different poker rooms. I've met a lot of very nice people and was accepted very well. The owner of Manchester at the time, Jamie Timbas, was extremely helpful and friendly to me which made for very comfortable and enjoyable visits. I have both Cards Chat and Covid to thank for that. :)
