Motives and Reasons for Playing Poker

[LCDaBoss]

I thought this was a Go Fish forum at first ~ and then poker sucked me right in

So you learned to play here?

I was wondering how much does the coach really help youre game?

Poker is in my blood! My dad was an old time 7 card stud player and used to kill the tables! I play for fun, and to learn!

I don't think the coach really helps you out at all. Just my opinion.

I play because I like to play, poker distracts me from life. If I get better, that's a bonus for me.

you can call it a hobby.

I just play for fun. Occasionally I'll read a book or an article and try and incorporate some of what I learn, but I definitely don't make any money. I'm just happy not losing money, free entertainment.

A coach can help immensely. But uve gotta want to learn n at times change ur game play. For alot of people that can be hard as hell, especially if uve been playing for a long time n there is a big difference between how u play currently n how ur coach wants u to play. Others catch on quick to the new style or dont have a style so its easier for them.

N coaching isnt the only way to improve ur game, just talking hands w/other players or going thru tourney histories w/others can help u find leaks in ur game that u may never have caught w/o a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or even more sets of eyes to see stuff.

Usually its just for fun when im playing online. I try to learn and get better by reading about hands and studying my own hands. I dont play high enough online, because ive never deposited and dont have 100% on some of these poker sites. But I take it all seriously and try to get better when I play live.

I play to get better and hopefully to win through skill not luck.
