Right now i can,t say, that i still enjoy the game, as it was some years ago. Especially just because in this online poker soft can kills you for many months and you just need to wait patiently.
I think most of the people are playing just for the money. Even if this is the freerolls, you still can take some free money from rooms and spend it on something.

I keep playing poker cuz sometimes I score big wins which is what the games all about. And sometimes the games actually kinda fun. Especially when I'm winning.

I like the competition and how you can see/feel your progress.

Winning or losing money is also a big motivating factor for me.

The rush

I love playing poker for the rush that I get from playing. Plus, the chance to make some money? The feeling you get when you have the winning hand for a big pot and raking those chips in is just incredible! I also love to win games!

I play for money. Every month i withdraw certain amount of money (not a big amount) but it helps me pay some of my bills.
My motivation:"I have to get the money to survive". No second thought is allowed to enter into mind.
Sometimes i face loses but with some measures i try to minimize the loses so that it may not hamper my withdrawals.

To make money and give to charities and allow myself to move up limits and give charity's more money.

That's the main purpose of making money. Of course you need to pay ya bills and eat food and whatnot. Using money for these purposes to enable you to earn more money to give away and help people is the goal.

Your question is very important, I'm a poker fan, not a pro, but the reason I'll keep playing this game all my life is to become a professional one day. I don't play for money these days I play to practice and gain more skills, all I need is to keep the money I have in my poker account to play when I have the opportunity and time

More for entertainment any more. Starting out was motivated to be skilled and profitable. Spent a lot time away from the table to get there. As lives move forward so do priorities. Poker has dropped down the list of things to do.

I am motivated by both success and failure. When I do well, I am motivated to study and strive for more uccess because it feels good. When I do poorly, I am motivated to study and strive for better to keep that from happening again.
