From my personal perspective I play becasue the game is addictive.  It's a tremendous amount of fun and more so becasue the money is real.  
 
I've won money in freerolls that I've parlaed (sp?) into some decent stacks and then lost them.  I even had a guy stake me once becasue he thought I was good enough to play his money.  And, it worked out.  I made him a few bucks and he shared a little with me (which I grew and then lost).  This process took about two months and hundreds of hours of play.
 
My bankroll management skills are pretty good too.  I played with a starting stack of $17.50 daily for over two months before I lost it.  And it's not hard to figure out that I won exactly as much as I lost.  
 
What's interesting is that the site I play at pays out ~1 point for each dollar it takes in in rake.  I've earned 131.94 points over the last two months.  So rough calculation I payed a little less than $132 to the site and $1319 has passed through my hands.  10 days ago I had $100.  I kept playing and now my only choice is go back to freerolls or make a deposit.
 
The best reason to play poker is that it is an irreplaceable thrill.  But I don't think it's profitable for many of the players at all.  Even me, and I personally, think I am great!
