I try to have both.

Interestingly both vary in intensity, lol.

Entirely for fun.
I'm not chasing dreams or fantasy's.
I dont have much in life and expect to cross the finish line in much the same way. Hopefully a bit better but there are no guarantees in life.

I make 3 big sessions tops per week so I am not bored, I like the game, plus thanks to CC I have a good bankroll and I am able to invest $30-$50/ session. Those sessions have treated me very well so far so I continue my journey with joy! :)

If it ever stops being fun, I'll be doing something else with a lot of my spare time.

Some days I wonder why I even play because I lose 10 games in a row with great cards losing to donks chasing river. Really how lucky is that. I always come back and win a lot with donks chasing the river on other days. now that's fun.

Poker, chess and other intellectual games are good for the brain, if there is not too much of them - you also need to rest.With the help of poker, a more stable and long-lasting effect of getting rid of various mental disorders is achieved than by taking antidepressants.We will play as long as poker exists.

I play for money and I have a lot of fun while playing. Of course, my main motivation is money, however, I also get pleasure from the game on a regular basis :)

At the moment I don't play, been on a break for over 2 years not because I was losing, far from it, but somewhere down the line I just lost interest. I used to play in a Live event every week, at my Local pub, but with Covid and the Lock-downs I had to give it up. I did have a valid account on PokerStars and challenged myself to try and Double my Bankroll from $200 to $400 in the time the Lockdowns were running, I managed to Treble it in less than 6 months and it now stands at over $600.
Some where I just lost the attraction the game gave me, I quit playing, even quit following Cardschat and I only returned to Cardschat just to find that attraction again, up to date I still haven't found, what I am looking for (sounds like a song I know).
I never played just to make money, for sure I didn't want the game to cost me money, but it has never been my driving ambition to become rich from playing Poker, I just wanted to have some fun playing a game with Friends every week at my Local Pub and having a Laugh and a couple of Pints.
That is gone, and even Friends I have met have said they still play at the Pub every week. but it has changed and not the game it used to be, so the Attraction is just not there anymore, Maybe one day, but who knows what the future holds.

Poker is entertainment for me and I play for the fun of it and the challenge of the game. Now don't get me wrong the money is nice to win but I can win $10 or $1,000 and get the same thrill from winning a tournament.

I play poker for fun and basically just for that. I long ago lost the illusion that I would be a professional poke player. My life and responsibilities in the real world do not allow me to devote too much time to poker (2-3 hours a day). So I treat poker as entertainment and relaxation after a long day. And when it comes to money, when I win it's great, but when I lose nothing much happens, I set a mental block that I can spend no more than $100 on poker each month. If I lose my bankroll, I deposit no more than $100, and if I win, I don't deposit
