Others say it's their way of living, some got addicted to it, some lost millions of dollars, others have become millionaires too and gotten so rich! Others have lost lives as well...lost relationships and even killed.

Well, when I played when I was underaged and I read some articles and learned about poker, I think when I was 14 or so when I began to really taking it more serious, it didn't make my marks worse, on the contrary, it made my thinking level pretty much higher! I could understand things with maths with more ease and I recognised that it sometimes has a lot to do with economy, which I was already good at.
The worst thing, however, is that I spend a little too much time in poker after a four year break, I was studying. I'm now reducing it a bit and play less than I'm learning about poker, I hope that I can build up a bankroll again in some time... (And that's why I like to be staked now, I don't allow myself to deposit a lot if there is a decent chance of losing it all )

the best thing that poker has brought into my life is expanded words baggage that are used in special occasions (the F... line and similar gems). the worst thing that poker has brought into my life is lost millions at the tables, cannot stress this enough- don't play with the money you cannot afford to lose- even if it's play money

Fast and easy: It brought a new way to enjoy and pass quality time, doing something that involves thinking and which is fun, and it can even make me win some money. As a matterr of fact it already did, what takes me to the second advantage point. On the negative side i could refer the amount of money i have already lost with the game, but that was always an investment in good quality time, although the reasult wasn't the expected, so that can't be considered as bad. Would you feel bad for spending money on food after eating because you can't see that food again and you just got out of money?

The best thing that poker has brought into my life is the opportunity to do something with my brain that he hike challenging also allows me to de-stress from the day.
The worst thing that poker has brought into my life is an acute awareness of a really slow and glitchy internet connection. So much so that I recommend that the international test for internet speed should be a game of online poker!
