Hello guys I play poker every day and I have not reached to the point where I can make a living from it. That’s my goal, but I guess other people play poker for different reasons , I have a love for the game I would play for free this is what keeps me going. So what keeps you going ?

I just enjoy the game. I like exploring different styles - some days I'm a maniac, others I'm a nit (well, actually I never play nitty), and most of the time somewhere in between.

For me it's the challenge of trying to be better than my opponents. Some days I am, others I'm not but I'm really competitive so I can keep trying.

I am motivated to play by the opportunity to earn extra income. This is probably my main motivation. But besides that, I also enjoy the game and that's a good reason for me to keep playing.

I do not make a lot of money from poker either, but I play because it is still fun for me to challenge other players and to see if I have improved my style of play over time.

I do make some side money from poker. But honestly it's the challenge and competition of MTT's that keeps me coming back for more.

Cheers!!!

For me, poker is a hobby that brings me income. Playing poker is interesting and, in my case, also useful, so every tournament is always a good opportunity for me to have fun and make money :)

Honestly, I never started playing poker to make a living from it, I only do it recreationally and lately I haven't even been playing. I think CC's departure from Pokerstars conspired against that.

What keeps many players going in poker is the blend of strategy, competition, and the thrill of the game. The constant challenge of outsmarting opponents, improving skills, and refining strategies provides a sense of growth and accomplishment. For some, it's about the pursuit of profit, with the potential for financial reward fueling their passion. For others, it's the mental stimulation and the ability to learn from every session, win or lose. The excitement of big hands, memorable plays, and the social aspect of poker often make it an addictive, lifelong pursuit.
