playing to win

Despite many professional terms, winning poker is called winning. Everyone strives for this, because the goal is to get the bank by making the strongest combination. Although you can win without making a hand at all. Experienced poker players do not always strive to go to showdown and win every hand. However, failures and successes follow each other, but in the end, experienced grinders remain in the black.

It seems to me that a lot of people play to win, but not always and not everyone does. In my case I am having a very marked downturn in cash tables, this month was not very good for me, but the question is as a result of those errors, study and see where one is wrong.

I'm sorry. But we all play to win. Professionals also play to win

Hi!

Most players play to win or to prove to themselves and others that they are the best.This gives an incentive to the development or empty loss of a bankroll.

For me, playing to win is what makes poker, and any other game, fun. Games where you compete against other players, or in some cases against yourself, really lose their meaning if you aren't trying to win. It is not about money, it is about the pleasure that comes from working hard at improving your skills and then succeeding by using those skills.

Playing to win makes money. Making money is fun. Losing money is not fun.

Natta777 · Aug 7, 2021

I think everyone plays for the sake of victory. Victory brings fame, but also some money.

denis_og79 · Aug 7, 2021

I don't think so, because when you enter a tournament or any other competition, you enter to win.

I play for fun and make a few bucks on the way.
When I used to play to win it would stress me out to much.

I guess no...

It's strange to hear, because the main point of ALL the games is to win. And moreover, poker is the game about money

TirariAchref · Aug 8, 2021

Not really I play for fun because if you play for money you will lose a lot of money you will lose money more then you will gain from it.

I think that most people play to win. Be a winner of a tournament or play a final table is very funny to me

perrypip · Aug 8, 2021

If you want to win then when you play you should care about your decision making instead of just winning.

Playing to win makes it more interesting and more fun.

KRANKES · Aug 8, 2021

I'd say play to win is the only fun part.ITM is nice, happens all teh time, FT is cool, happens every now and the and is some kind of a good result. But to win a tournament is what I'm here for.

Yes, because successful tight aggressive players play fewer hands, especially in the beginning of a tournament. But that's how one can create a table image that can be capitalized on later in the game when the blinds actually are worth stealing. Playing more hands is more fun, of course, but leans more toward the luck side of the equation rather than the skill side.

I believe the game is great when you go for the win, you are putting everything you have learned into practice.

Even if I lose I'm still having fun.

If you find the game not fun for you, STOP, it's as simple as that!

How could I know I never played to lose, I never play to lose, I lose of sure, but I don´t know a good player that plays to lose.

vnnby · Oct 9, 2022

What's the point of playing if you're not going to win?

jleon_zat · Oct 9, 2022

I think that the basis of the game is to win, if you have fun losing well I think I'm very different from myself I like to win I have fun that way

I can't recall any game in which losing is a purpose.

Gipsystripsy · Oct 9, 2022

I don't think so at all. I find a mixture of fun to win and the possibility to earn a lot of money makes it. I myself sometimes just want to win money, especially since I have put money myself and I measure my success in poker by my statistics and my wins and losses. And that's where the connection to the desire to win comes in. Since I play freerolls and thus do not directly bet my own money, I play much more often just to get into the final table as often as possible. Of course I also want to build up a bankroll but the desire to be better than others has grown through freerolls....

IRINA70 · Oct 10, 2022

Of course, like most players, I play to win first and the fun comes from playing well.
