Why do you play Poker?

[thenutzaa1]

ive been competitive from the freakin womb...I love staring across the table at someone and knowing i'm going to take them for everything they have in front of them....it's addicting and i love the extra money.

i would have to agree with kings here......i played sports my whole life so i love the competetion and i love watching other people go broke because of me....see you at the final table

I play because it's the only entertainment I can find that pays me
$200 a month, without spending any money.


I love competition as well. I only play tournaments under $6 and I have never had a gambling problem. I'm too good at math to waste my money.
I also am well aware of highs and lows with poker and I am diciplined enough
to know when to take a break. Plus my wife wouldn't let me play if I didn't win consistantly.

I play online poker for the women. Nothing turns a woman on more than winning the NDNPT. Wait a minute.....I said that wrong. Nothing gets a wife more annoyed than playing almost every game of the NDNPT and complaining that I might lose my lead. Good thing I'm using the money I've won throughout the season and the extra I've made off it to take her on a vacation

Thats nice, make her happy!

Please stop playing Pool, i cant beat you now, i need a mouse!!!

I'm glad you don't have a mouse. I liked pool at first but I still play it and I just get pissed off too easily. If you beat my score I might have to retire my cue.

Keep getting 84k and running out of time. Gonna go buy a mouse and try it

I play mostly for the competition and the people. Once you have been around long enough people get to know you, and therefore a friendly competition arises. Some of the coolest people i have ever met i met playing poker. I have always loved compettition, and since playing football for so long, all through school, only to be told that i wasnt fast enough or big enough to compete collegiatly, I had to find an outlet for my fiercly competitive spirit, and poker was a calling of sorts for me. Not that im a poker great or anything, but it satifies my spirit, and keeps me from getting my butt handed to me trying to join UFC just for competitions sake!
