[QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 1251736, member: 33113"]
I've never played because of "MONEY"... except perhaps when I was around 10yrs. old.
I started playing poker over 40yrs. ago as a wee youngster.
 
Why do I play it now... what is it about the game I enjoy OR what is it that motivates me to play more?
There's a few answers here... basically because I LOVE the game part of it... I am super competitive and I HAVE TO WIN... AND I like the way as you develop your game you come to understand that there is just wayyyyy more to it than you had at first realized (or could even see).
I am motivated to contstantly improve upon my game - - learn more & more & more about it... review some more, learn some more.. play some more and do it all again.
What I enjoy about it.... it's the Great Escape.  When I'm playing poker nothing else matters.  I can totally zone out from anything & everything.  I enjoy that it is a very cool game of skill,.. kinda like chess but only a zillion times better for many reasons.
 
When I say "Money has very little to do with it".. I mean this in all sincerity.  Sure it'd be nice to win money but personally what I enjoy most is just winning the game.  think if one is to keep focused on the money aspect
 
different things motivate different people to play for many different reasons.  Knowing some of this can help one play the player on the tables and some of this is often quickly revealed if one knows what cues to look for.
 
good question btw
