Poker is officially defined as a card game played by 2 or more people who bet on their cards. The aim is to have the best value.

 

Albeit this game is seemingly simple, it has been widely played since the early 19th century; generation after generation, people are always in love with it. This is because poker is not as simple/boring as its definition could sound. In fact, it's so complex that there are thousands and thousands of ways to play it.

 

For example, some types of poker widely known in the US include:

  • stud horse poker

  • high Chicago

  • follow the queen

  • Chinese poker

  • bitcoin hold em mixed

 

There are so many different types that we cannot list them all.

 

It is something that is virtually impossible to get bored of because it is not possible to master all of the games that can be created with poker. In addition to the fact that bitcoin poker has so many outcomes and freerolls, the card game is also said to be popular because of the money and glory that is involved in it. The thrill of winning an absorbent of money is a thrill that is hard to pass. In addition to the thrill of winning what one can make in a year in a matter of day, the glory that comes with winning is also quite enticing.

 

 

Because poker is played by a group of people, receiving the satisfaction that you have triumphed others with your winning hand is a giant gratification/ego boost. It truly allows our brains to open up its “reward pathways” and give us a feeling of buzzed happiness. However, on the flipside of things, there also comes a lot of lost ego and lost money alongside with this game of poker, but this dark and unfortunate side of poker does not detract its players as much as one would think.

 

In fact, these possible negative results of poker sites are what bring them their customers. When someone loses money, they feel the need to gain it back, and the same goes with ego. As imperfect people, we strive to prove ourselves whether it is subconscious or not. Some of these negative results are an effect of the hack that was carried out recently: http://www.coindesk.com/seals-clubs-bitcoin-poker-site-hacked-42000-passwords-stolen/

 

We must earn that money back; we must prove that we can indeed win a good game of poker, and so forth. And then when we gain back the money, we tell ourselves that we can gain even more money so we play again and again till that money is gained/lost, in which the cycle repeats. The challenges, uncertain qualities, and possible monetary advantages of this gam are hard not to love.

 

It should be acknowledged that yes, there are some people out there that are not affected by the enticing aspects of poker who can easily back out when they see that things are not going to be in their benefit, but these reasons are the main reasons as for why people are so captivated by this game using bitcoin.

Are poker and bitcoin a good combination?
