Hi :)
There are different reasons why people continue to play. For some people, poker is just entertainment, for others it's work, and for others it's an addiction, so each player follows their own trajectory.

I think I'll continue to earn more lol, besides being a sport, a game to work your mind, you can earn a lot of money, so it's about combining the useful with the pleasant

I think it's simple: he wants to experience the feeling of winning again.
And of course those who basically make a living from poker don't stop anyway, especially after a huge win, after all, if you've succeeded once, why not succeed again?

Seems like there's a bunch of people responding to this thread who play poker to get money.... with the thinking that once they get that money they would be done with the game. My understanding is, most of the people who've won lots of money, (unless a 1 hit wonder) typically LOVE this game which tends to be a necessary requirement in order to be willing to put in the work it takes to be a winner.

If I were lucky and won a million dollars in a tournament,of course, I would keep playing poker without any problems because I would follow a good bankroll management.Maybe I would try to play bigger buy-ins but just for fun.There is no reason to take unnecesary risks at all.

I think that playing poker is more enjoyable than working on a farm

the only difference is that I got 100% of the money from the farm, but poker eats up a lot of nerves

I think there different type of players. There are the professionals players that win one or more millions of dollars and keep playing because it's their job and they need to keep playing to maintain the cost of their lifestyle. And there are the players with gambling problems and for this type of player no matter how much they win, the majority of them would not stop to play because they want to win even more money or because they would keep chasing any losses.
