Poker

Poker is a very crazy game

Fr, one minute you're cruising and the next you're questioning every life choice at the river

[luxtos]

Yeah and the worst part is you can play perfectly and still get crushed, that's what hooks you

[hithesh1234]

Yes

[frostax]

ngl the swings make me feel like a genius and an idiot in the same hand

[hollowund]

glad I’m not the only one riding that rollercoaster lol

[havenlia]

ngl the worst is when you're card dead for an hour then finally get aces and they get cracked immediately

[tyxlor3]

it's the only game where you can be up 3 buy-ins, lose one hand, and suddenly question if you even know how to play

the absolute swing from "I'm a poker god" to "have I ever actually played this before" happens way too fast

[myxni]

fr the emotional damage hits different when you're convinced you made the right play and still get stacked

[sophssa]

the emotional swings are what keep me coming back tbh, no other game makes you feel so alive and so dead inside in the span of 5 minutes

[emiliokaka10]

lol yeah it's wild bro, you can be on top of the world and then down in the dumps ?

The sheer mental whiplash from running pure and feeling like a genius to getting coolered three times in a row and doubting your entire strategy is unmatched in any other hobby. Honestly sometimes I think the variance is just a long con designed to kepe you exactly break even and vaguely frustrated forever.

fold when you feel that anger tilt coming on seriously just sit the next hand out

I once had pocket aces cracked by a guy who called my preflop shove wih 7 2 offsuit and then he told me it was his lucky hand.

its a madness i cant quit, the bad beats make me feel alive
