Profits or pleasure?

navicula · Oct 7, 2023

Both, finance and pleasure. Prizes in poker have become more attractive.

For me, poker is more of a financial aspect, but it also gives me a lot of fun

Back in the days was only for fun. But in years after when some cash came in....so both of them.

Personally, I play poker for enjoyment; whether I win or not doesn't matter to me, but I do get a dose of adrenaline from it.

Both.

I play for pleasure but would love to make some profit

MathMDI · Oct 13, 2023

Unfortunately I can't get much pleasure from Poker, I usually get very tired at the end of my days. That's why I play more for profit, for fun I play other games.

I started playing poker because it was an interest of my husbands and I wanted to give it a try to understand why he liked it so much. I sure found out because now I love it as well. It is a hobby for me, that gives me great pleasure and if I win money……well…. Even more pleasure

I am saying that I play for the pleasure of it because I cannot show yet profit… sad truth .. but also enjoying the game

PupsikCat · Oct 16, 2023

Have fun with friends

Like2Play2 · Oct 16, 2023

Mostly to pass the time. Of course winning money is always fun.

edenman1 · Oct 16, 2023

I play for both.. Its mostly for fun, but theres nothing wrong with a cashout!

LUKADONCICMVP · Oct 16, 2023

used to be pleasure, but lost that a long time with the suckouts happening so often

Peteski84 · Oct 29, 2023

Enjoying my time spent in a game.

ShaDoWGuarD · Oct 31, 2023

Of course, I play poker for money, for the opportunity to win some money, like most people probably do. You can have fun playing, but if this game became impossible to win money tomorrow, I think it would be less fun. It is unlikely that professionals are chasing after pleasure in poker, they all have one main goal here: money.

MARIANARDES2022 · Oct 31, 2023

Right now it's just bad luck for neither of them haha

purpose and vocation.
Poker can be a choice for some, it can be an extra income for others, it can be fun. But for some it is the only way.

Not always, some learn a lot about themselves and about life and the path. It's not always just about the money. It's about discipline, hard work, resilience, self-knowledge...

It seems like magic, playing freeroll and winning is like magic making money appear out of nowhere

It's like planting without seeds and reaping the fruits. I would say an invisible and magical seed!

For me, my wins are directly related to my enjoyment of the game. It doesn't mean that if I don't win I don't get satisfaction, it's not like that. I always get pleasure from the game regardless of the results, the very process of the game is already a pleasure. But when there are good results, the enjoyment of the game increases significantly
