I play poker. It's the only game I play. It's the only game I'd ever play. I'm a solid player and I've made a good bit of money in low stakes and a tourneys.
I will say that I've been playing on and off for about 20 years and I was an absolute shit player for about 14 of those years. I knew how to play the game, and I thought I was decent, but over time I realized that I quite literally had no approach to the game I was playing and really no idea what I was doing.
Now Im a good player. Not great, but good. I would like to play more large field tournaments. That where I feel happiest.
It takes a certain kind of person to be good at poker. And even if you're good you may not be able to make a living at it. Game selection and bankroll management are absolutely massive. You need to be disciplined as all hell. I make an extra few k a year reliably, as I don't have the time or live the kind of life where I can be a full time player.
I understand the rules of other games but I don't play them and never will. I've dedicated too much time to being a poker player and I'm not interested in playing games that are rigged for the house and taking away time from poker.
