I think that most people start out with the desire to become professional and win a lot of money, but not everyone can continue. After I suffered a series of losses, I started playing for fun.

First and foremost, I play poker to make money. That's why I don't play for fun. I think my current level is good enough, but not professional. I try to show my best game in every tournament and gradually I grow as a poker player. It's important to never give up! :unsure:

I play poker for fun and to earn a little extra to help with expenses. I hope to become a professional one day.

I really love poker.

I play for fun, but I always aim on winning more money.

Go pro only if you’re deeply committed, emotionally stable, and willing to treat it like a business and not a thrill.

I play for 20+ years poker
I play micro stakes cash games ,
99% of the time plo rush & cash at GGpoker..
I play short sessions for max 3hours a day
but I’m losing gambler (with poker I’m winning player)
but my problem is I cash out poker money and loose whole bankroll on slots at other casino’s
im already banned at ggcasino to just play poker at GGPoker
im registered on to many casinos and that’s still the problem I think

mayb it’s time to set goal that i gone ban myself from all online casinos
at age 45 (I’m 41at moment )

it triggers me that I’m winning on slots 2000x at one spin 🤣🤣🤣
with poker my record is just win 10x buyin in half hour..

I like both to play!
but can not afford casino games..
that’s why I said I’m losing gambler in general.

I never imagined I would get rich from this (it's like I'm allergic to money 😏 I don't draw it to myself) my game is for fun but I don't mind messing up other people's accounts😁.

I started playing for fun and now I also play for fun. But the difference is that now, after 7 years of playing, poker brings me money in addition to pleasure.

As a general rule, you should have enough money in your stash to last you six months. And your bankroll should be big enough that even after the worst downswing you have enough chips left to play comfortably.So, I play for fun, as do the majority of players.

I play for fun and I try to win enough money to be able to play without having to deposit. Of course I hope that someday I will win a larger sum of money.
