Everyone knows that poker is a game. Even still, most people get into this “game” because there’s lots of money to be won. And when poker becomes some obsession about winning money, you’ll definitely lose yourself within the game. If you ever find yourself struggling in online poker with no idea as to how you’ll find your groove again, here are some suggestions for how you can make the game fun again.
Watch YouTube Videos of Interesting Players
One of the best ways to revamp your love of poker is by watching those who make the game fun. Some of my favorites to watch include Phil Hellmuth, Phil Laak, Tony G, and Hevad Khan. Sure these may not be the coolest poker players in the world, buy the are entertaining and keep me interested in the game.
Try New Games like Stud, Razz, etc.
Quite a few people play Texas Hold’em day in and day out without giving it a break. Now Hold’em might be the most popular variation of the game in the world, but it will make you bored quicker than anything if all you’re dong is playing Texas Hold’em. Instead, learn variations of the game that you’ve never played before to bring the enjoyment back.
Sign up for Poker Forums
Another good way to have fun with poker is by signing up for forums. Poker forums offer you a chance to find other people who love the game just as much as you do. In addition to this, you’ll also find plenty of players that suffer from bad beats just like you, and are more than willing to participate in bitch fests.
Play in a Land-Based Tournament
Yet another way to make poker fun is by playing in a land-based tourney. Now it doesn’t have to be a WSOP event….just something that’s held away from your computer monitor.
