I think most people play to win! What can impact is playing pressured by the amount invested, if that's what I probably ABI is not in accordance with your BR.

You can play to win in different ways! You can wait stupidly only for premium hands, or you can play recklessly without thinking about the strength of your hands. In recent years, it is the second tactic that is gaining popularity)))

hello

Yes, because the objective is to make money, you need concentration and those things are not enjoyed, you do not play relaxed ..

Opinion

The idea is always to win, and this game also helps to win much better money prizes, only that it is no longer a hobby but even a profession.
That is why each person seeks to win since every day this game is more competitive.

It seems to me that many people play to win, but not always and not everyone succeeds.

I think it doesn't matter which game it is about if you play against other people then you want to win unless it is against small children then there is another scenario then you can lose on purpose but in poker normally you don't play against children and the opponents are adult people and everyone has the goal of trying to win if you put too much pressure on yourself or risk your bankroll then it's no longer about fun and if it's no longer about fun then you should perhaps consider quitting

On the contrary, I think playing to win is what makes the game attractive and fun.

I think everyone plays with the intention of winning, except those who play with play money, few win money, many want to win but don't want to pay the necessary price for it, others can't even with all their dedication, but that's okay, not one sport is for all people only a few will be winners.

Playing to win is being more aggressive at the tables but it depends on whether you have cards for it and it also depends on whether your table opponents are more careful. Then you can explore a little more.
Man playing to win is being more complete in all aspects of poker. But if it's time for the tables to beat you then take a break.:deal:

I never play recklessly. I always pick up a card, even on freerolls. Trying to get into the prizes always takes place in a slightly nervous environment. If the game did not need to worry, then probably it would be tedious and boring. It’s unlikely that I would have played po

Every tournament I enter I am going to win it but poker is so unpredictable that one enters with an advantage on the cards and a bingo player wins you:mad:

A neat game is certainly less spectacular, but you should initially understand what you want, victory or a fun pastime and play accordingly.

I play tournaments only. At the beginning I play to cash, then to make final table and then to win. I find it easier to play that way.

I do not think so. On the contrary, I think that my goal to be first and win the tournament makes the game really interesting. I never play with junk, and I always try to wait patiently for strong cards, which is probably why the game is always so interesting to me.

no. I'm always playing to win. Min cashing is great, but the real prize is at the top :)

For me it is the opposite, so it becomes more exciting, each hand won has that extra of being close to prizes or in cash an extra satisfaction, I stay focused knowing that I can get money:jd4::jd4::jd4::jd4:

And what's the point of playing poker without having a goal to win ...
Apparently everyone has their own goals, but only my victory in the game gives me real pleasure.

I think we all play with the desire to win.
Always wanting to win at the cost of everything creates stress and adds pressure, in addition to being unrealistic so every mistake you make is macro and you feel bad about it.

That would not change if you have fun or not. I also believe that you should always play to win, it is the essence of this beautiful game.
