I'd been trying to figure out how to phrase my own attitude, but you put it well. +1 
 
I'll add that poker was, originally, when I started, more adrenaline charged, more exciting -- now the fun is in seeing the crazy things that happen and trying to deal with it. The game is a puzzle, as you try to fit the players, position, cards, EV into their places each hand and see if you can solve the riddle each hand presents. [I]That's[/I] what's fun.
 
@ K_Kahne_Fan ---A fun home game would need, for every person, the potential of winning enough to make it slightly worthwhile monetarily, but not losing so much it hurts. The level needs to be right to make it a fun night with pals, win or lose. Some people are OK with losing $100, some would feel pain and not have fun. Some people don't feel any excitement if they do not have much on the line. 
 
A poll won't do it, unless it's a poll among the very people you want to get together to play. But even more -- it's [I]who[/I] is there. Everybody needs to be in the same financial ballpark or willing to play "seriously" (i.e., not shoving every hand and laughing uproariously) for less than they might, and everyone needs to be able to laugh at a beat.  There's also the balance between those who think poker is gambling and those who think there's skill.
