I only play for fun now. I use to grind poker like a job and I found it took the joy out of the game. Started getting burned out and wasn’t winning enough. So much better when I play for fun.
 
I don't play only to make money - I enjoy it. If you find a job you like you won't work a day in your life!

Good luck! 😀
 
no i don´t, i play poker to learn this sport and i think that poker is a brillant card games where you can feel a lot of adrenaline in your blood
 
Haha, it is actually to opposite. I play just for the challenge of playing against some of the toughest players online.
 
I take too much risk at final table play reckless,I should learn from it?
 
I play to be disciplined in becoming a better player. I refuse to pay to play, I've had my bankroll to a manageable micro status just off of freerolls alone, but I have to admit that making the transition from micro to low stakes is incredibly challenging.

I've started and stopped poker many times in my life. Re-finding the joy for different reasons. I must say that I do enjoy the emotional ups and downs. I mean, the downs not so much lol. But damn the rush of adrenaline when you get a successful bluff through lol. When the game becomes too robotic and "job" like, I think that's when I lose interest. I tried doing it "professionally" as a small-time streamer and it stressed me out 'needing' to win. It's very odd, but I wouldn't mind playing poker full time if I didn't need to win. For me, it's similar to photography. I like doing it, but if I'm forced to do my hobby as a job, it kind of sucks the joy out of it.
 
I love poker and I do play it for fun but poker is a money game so we must be the best not to lose.
 
I've been playing free poker for almost 5 years, and only later I found out that it is almost legal in my country and tournaments where held, and online poker tournaments are also regulated and held. Ever since then I started to play for money but lost the fun along the way. So, now I am learning through courses and brushing up my skills not to win money, but motivated by the joy of winning a wsop bracelet or ring, or winning major tournaments, irrespective of the prize pool, I will still enjoy poker.
 
Based on all the freerolls I play, it’s safe to assume no lol. I enjoy the game & play for fun, hope to make enough to keep playing and play meaningful games
 
Of course, we all try to do the best we can. I would think its more of a numbers game meaning practice makes perfect. Good Luck
 
I discovered this game a short time ago and now i have made it a great pastime. I don't think i'll get rich with it, but who knows ? 😀
 
i play for fun and to keep my hope of being rich alive 🙂 haha
 
I found poker is very interesting game and love to play poker.

If I would be a millionaire. I definitely play poker for hobby or to get billionaire.🙂
 
I want to make money, because now I really need it. But beyond that, poker brings me emotional pleasure. When you lose you get angry, and I often cry because I feel hurt, bad, that I could not win, and other girls can be hurt, bad. Maybe poker is about the goal of proving something to yourself ... I don't know🙁:evil:
 
money are important of course but if you don't have a pleasure for this game I think it's a wasting time to play poker.
 
No and i think if you do you will loose if you don't have a passion you don't have the motivation that you need to win
 
Only for pleasure.
 
I never won,just lose!
 
Around the world in 80 tournaments

I would still play. Less online, but would enter tournaments around the world.
Great way to see the world I guess.
 
I always loved playing poker because of the mental aspect, it lets me work my mind and relax in a way after a long day in the lab. In some way its a weird escape from the rest of the world because of how much you have to focus only on the table you're playing. The money you get is just a nice bonus 🙂
 
Poker to get rich

Hello. If I played to get rich, I would be walking the streets, homeless.
