People play poker for a variety of reasons. It’s important to understand the reasons that other people play poker as well as your own reasons for playing. Most people play poker as a pastime and simply because they like the game. They either see it as no different from a game like chess or backgammon, where different skill levels create a fun with an interesting challenge, whereas others play for an opportunity to gamble and if you get lucky, win a little money.
If you’re a fun player that’s ok, but remember you should always play with a bankroll that you can afford to lose. If losing money makes you miserable then you are not playing poker for fun. Many use poker as a social event to meet others and this is not so easy with online poker, but most online poker rooms have a chat function online. If you’re playing against a social player, it is generally in your interest to promote a friendly atmosphere, you are likely to keep him around and he could be less skilled than you and easier to bluff.
