Southern Buddhist 1 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Just curious about this. I like hearing the philosophy behind sports and what draws people to their hobbies/obsessions. [You can find out a lot about a person that way.]So why do you love poker? Is it the adrenaline? The anticipation of the cards? The money? Reading people? Beating them? Busting them? The math? The luck? The psychology? I know it's the whole package, but there's always one element that got you first, or still gets you the most. What is it? Link to post Share on other sites

david_keena 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I don't like any specific charity so I like to give my money away this way.the heart pounding feeling when u bet huge on an all out bluff. and the dick makes u sit there, hands getting sweaty, all u can hear is your heart beating, and it seems like its been 5 minutes. then watching his hand hit the muck.that is what i love to play for.oh and ya life tilting people. which works well after showing your hand from the first thing i said.

Southern Buddhist 1 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Cool! Only up an hour and already 20 comments. What I love intellectually is seeing things intersect when they seem to have nothing in common. 2+2 usually equals 4 no matter how happy a childhood you had, and it usually equals 4 no matter what luck you're having. But in poker math, psychology, and luck all intervene in the course of a single hand, and at any moment each one can swing the hand around completely. That's what got me into it.
