Why do people like playing poker?

1. **It's social**. Poker is by nature interactive. Whether you'll win or lose depends as much or more on the cards you and the other players have as the cards you think eachother has. This means a lot of subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) communication goes on to try to figure out who's on top and who's bluffing.
2. **It's exciting**. Poker players live for the thrill of getting a great hand and occasionally laying it all on the line. There's a build-up of excitement that happens from betting round to betting round that you just can't get from other games. You find yourself invested in a hand kind of like you emotionally invest in a sports team. Go my hand!
3. **Fooling and being fooled**. Poker is the ultimate hidden identity game. If you're the one holding Aces full, the last thing you want is for anyone else at the table to know it. If you like hidden identity games like Warewolf, Mafia, The Resistance, or Coup, this is an aspect of poker you're going to like.
4. **It's competitive**. If you're a bad sport, nobody's going to want to play with you, but if you love to win and you can win and lose with grace, poker may be for you. This is a game with many winners and losers every session.
5. **It's fun at all levels**. It takes less than 30 minutes to learn the basics of Texas Holdem. After playing for a while, you might want to just keep playing your luck, or you might want to start learning some of the more subtle features of the game. You can start to notice, for example, how certain people play when they have good and bad hands. The learning never stops.

These are some of our reasons for loving poker. What are some of yours?
