rofl...

cuz i'm drunk

i dont. its hard to play when you a broke mofo and youve lost all drive for the game for like the millionth time. plus its tough when you suck....hopefully ill start up again now that i have a job again. nigga please

Mostly because I'm a degenerate and get addicted to stuff very easily...

And when I get into something I get obsessed with it to the point of danger.

edit: yay for sc2 and yay for d3 coming soon

cause i like to lose money

makes up for any additional purchases I like to buy myself like a new TV, laptop.. various things.. I dont make that much from poker and once was even a losing player.. but I enjoy the game a lot and feel like I took my game to a whole new level by cashing out the first 3-4 digit amounts and actually buy something with it.. but definitely playing more for the amusement than for the money

pocket money.

fillin your pockets with those benjamens?

I'm addicted to games. Most of my life it was chess. At other times, my life has been taken over by Magic: the Gathering, bridge, and World of Warcraft. Poker is the best one for making money. I think it's the first game I've consciously chosen because I'm trying to make a good decision, rather than just letting my impulses just lead me around by the nose.

I wanna be the very best, the best there ever was.

it's said before, but

most of you are cool smart guys, but there are way too much intelligent people using their abilities to win at this game and make a shitload of money, while instead they could be out there to contribute society in a serious way.

its also too hard to work for a boss for 60k a year after you printed money whilst shitting with your laptop on your lap

i love clicking buttons herp derp

I think a big part of this is b/c poker players by nature have to constantly think for themselves. That mindset carries over to the rest of their existence and interactions.

The majority of people rarely think of the "why" in each of their actions, but that's exactly what poker players do for a living.
