I LOVE poker because..

When we first start playing poker it grabs us and refuses to let us go. We all have different reasons why we love this game so let us know what your's is...




It is just so cool when a woman asks what you do for a living and you tell her "I play poker".   Dan (Las Vegas. US)



When I go to live tournaments I get to meet a whole bunch of people that I wouldn't normally meet. Then take their cash. LOL   Raymond (Blackpool. UK)



It gave me the perfect excuse to buy 3 huge monitors for my PC. Serious grinding needs serious equipment.   Francis (London. UK)



I get a strange buzz when I can tilt someone with just a handful of words in the chatbox. It still amazes me how 'NH, fish' still gets a reaction.   David (North East. UK)



I realise I am actually a genius when I call the turn bet with nothing but an inside straight draw and hit it. Then stack the other guy off with his flopped set of Aces.   Robert (Rochdale. UK)



I love poker because my 2 month downswing is finally over. That's it!!   Piotr (Liverpool. UK)



I have actually peed in an empty coke bottle because I have hit an insane run of cards and could not leave my computer. Who else gets to do that at work? Very liberating, I have to say.   Peter (Sweden)


I get free toasties and fish finger sandwiches when I play at my local casino.  Brian (London, UK)
