Full time poker players: Do you play video games (Civ 4, AOE3, etc)?

[AA suited]

i used to be a hardcore gamer and spending countless hrs on games like AOE II.

then i played poker part time (while still having a full time job), and i couldnt finish Max Payne 2.

Now that i've started playing poker full time, i've stopped playing video games all together. I no longer have an interest.

it's like i can only handle one computer addiction at a time.

yet in my non-poker playing hrs, i spend most of that time surfing the web.

If you're a full time poker player, do you still play video games? If so, how do you do it? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

So what are the non-full time players suppose to do in this poll?

I play a regular amount of Madden on the PC. Maybe 4-5 games per week in online leagues. Very seldom against the cpu.

But its funny, I bought this computer and graphics card for high-end gaming. In the first couple months i was playing a lot of games, till all hours of the night.

Then, I just kinda stopped. Its weird. I was just wondering about it the other day, then this poll showed up.

I also keep telling myself I'll go back to gaming. Didnt know Civ IV was comin out (loved 2, didnt like 3).

Maybe i'm just having a hard time justifying any time spent at the computer NOT working.

I´m a game cube manic and I think it is very relaxing to play on my cube between the poker sessions.

I used to play tons of AOK and CS. Now I usually only play console games. No more PC games. Did you play Age on the zone? What was your sn?

I'm basically exactly the same as you. I was big into computer games before poker. Now that I play poker, I don't really have much interest in computer games anymore. I don't know why. When I'm not playing poker, I too surf the net a lot. 2+2 is the web site that by far gets the majority of my attention. I will occasionally play DOTA (war3 mod. fun as hell) with my buddies though.

damn right i do. ill be buying civ4, SW battlefront 2, and when it hits empire at war. (the last title has nothing to do with the party split!)

I still play some SCBW and AOE but nothing like before.

I like to have a good online FPS blast to let off steam after a poker session. Battlefield 2 is the current, it used to be Counterstrike, before that Battlefield 1. I like games that I can play to 20-30 minutes, I don't want to get sucked into a 5 hour marathon session. That's what poker is for.
