I'm playing backgammon. Not just online, but live tournaments as well.
What I like about it: it's one of those games that are easy to learn but difficult to master. Modern analyzing tools can detect your errors and weaknesses, providing you with eternal possibilities to improve.
But also, I like the excitement of the live tournaments, which like poker, have money prizes and an entry fee. They are all over the world and I especially like visiting tournaments in places which I otherwise wouldn't visit. Plus after a while you'll make friends in the tournament circuit, so it becomes a social thing as well.
