ahalvara 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 there are many different ways to approach the game. It's not mechanical and boring.....plus sometimes it gives me one hell of an adrenaline rush. Link to post Share on other sites
13CARDS 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I'll start off, One of the biggest things I love about the game and why I play is the many strategic ways to play, I love figuring out what others might have, figuring out what I should do in certain situations (and everyone is different). And also the social thing, I love sitting down at a poker table and just talking about hands and other stuff like past poker experiences. Anyways, i'd love to know what others think..latesMr. Lee????? Link to post Share on other sites
TheCinciKid 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Mostly it gives me an outlet for my competitiveness. Plus I love the strategy aspect, in a lot of ways a good poker game is basically mental combat and I love that about it. Link to post Share on other sites

psujohn 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 2 thingsIt's impossible to have a "perfect" game at poker so it's a constant battle to learn and improve and the only way to tell if you've improved is to play a lot (ie long term results).It's a self contained world where you can forget about everything else in life and focus on just what's in front of you.

xxxmen 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I like trying to outsmart a player. I would give a False Tell playing live when I have the nuts. It's like mind games!!Also the comraderie on the table talk. Link to post Share on other sites
Devilkin 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 The rush . .plain and simple. Being all in with the nut hand, and sweating out the turn/river when you get three callers you KNOW are drawing . .. Link to post Share on other sites

Governator 54 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I enjoy getting out of the house and playing with my buds.. keeps us all in touch and afterwards the winner buys the round at the pub. Link to post Share on other sites
El Guapo 8 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 If I play online I can look at Porn, Fantasy Football, This site, ESPN.com and Random IMDB pages to pass the times in between hands. Link to post Share on other sites
LongLiveYorke 38 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I really enjoy the atmosphere at a poker table, the image that goes with it, the feeling of chip shuffling and having huge stacks in front of you, the feeling of jamming your chips into the pot Phil Hellmuth style when you have the nuts and the feeling of bluffing someone out of a pot. It's a great game. Money is really one of the lesser reasons that I play. Link to post Share on other sites
dreamcrusher28 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 The reason I play is because I'm too old and slow to compete at a reasonable level in sports. Poker gives me the same feeling sports used to. Link to post Share on other sites

fleung22 1 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 It's not really just poker. I love games and gambling.Money and ease of finding games makes me play poker more often but I enjoy a round of golf, dominos or a night at the craps table just as much. Link to post Share on other sites

Money022 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I enjoy the mental challenge that the game provides, and the general competition.The money has allowed me to quit my part-time job which in turn allows me to spend more time at home with my fiance and little boy. Can't beat that. Link to post Share on other sites
