Yesterday I played free card games on the computer and had a lot of fun and it was also quite exciting. You know, I play different games: both paid and free. And sometimes, based on the fascination and the pleasure I get, I find it difficult to say which games captivate me more. But I would be interested in how you answer the question of whether free games can be considered gambling. Another way to put this is: can gambling be free? Do free games excite you as much as games that involve betting money?
I also had some interesting thoughts on this topic, so here is one of them about what if poker players started playing not for money, but first played for years just for fun. I think that is what raised my level to a very high level, although it takes a lot of time and an experienced coach. The important point is that bets and playing for money knock down the main essence and meaning of the game, they seem to cloud our minds and we cannot think about anything else except money, how much we can win or lose. And it is important to concentrate on the game itself, even professionals will say the same, because they are first completely immersed in the game, and then in money and everything else.
