At my first tournament, about four years ago, I got four twos. Now I have a poker problem. I do win every so often, so that's what keeps me going.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I learned playing poker that you never count your winnings because that's when you start to lose.
When I play poker, I don't like losing the pot.
With gamblers, it's never enough. You keep thinking on a conscious level that the prize is whatever the pot is. In poker, you may have a certain goal for the day. But the truth is, as soon as you win, more often than not the first thing that comes to mind is: If I'd bet more, I would have won more.
I've become addicted to playing poker because you're constantly faced with confusion, and winning is trying to make sense out of nonsense.
No, that's poker. To win, you've gotta get damned lucky.
I've been playing Texas Hold 'em and other forms of poker since I was about 12.
I am a poker player, but I am not a good poker player. My favorite game is seven card stud, but I'll play hi/lo, Hold 'em, Razz, etc.
I try to win every tournament.
I'm not a good poker player, but I've got one bluffing technique - as long as you're quick with the blinds, you're fine.
I can't lie... My face always gives me away. I'm also pathetically bad at poker!
