I think for many it is intended to relieve boredom.

If it a job and your loosing money then you really should stop and reanalyze your activity. Maybe Thake some holydays but not play. Best option to quit for a wile get a decent job and not bankrupt your family.

Hey there,
Poker is not just about the money. It's also a game that can bring people together. Many people don't see poker as a game of chance, but as a social activity. Family members, friends or strangers gather around the table to enjoy the excitement and strategy of the game.

I believe everyone has their own reasons for playing poker; I play because I enjoy it and to make some extra money.

We all have our own ways of spending our free time, and everyone has their own interests and opportunities. For example, we like to spend our free time playing poker.

I used to game a lot for entertainment purposes, I'm hardly ever in the bored state cause there is so much fun stuff to do.

For me poker is a combination of challenging myself mentally and interacting with other individuals. I think it's somewhere between a game and gambling.

For me, poker is a part of my life. If I don't dedicate at least 3-4 hours a day to it, I feel like something's missing. I've been playing for over 20 years. The game still brings me a lot of pleasure and often still raises my adrenaline levels, which doesn't change the fact that I play mainly for the money.

Generally, when you start playing a sport or, in this case, poker, it is to socialize, share moments with new people and spend quality time.

Because it's a multidisciplinary sport that includes fun along the way, well, that's my thought.

For me it's a side job, because salary's on jobs are just to low.
