Is it for fun or money? Often we think it's for one but our actions say something entirely different. If both, how do we balance that?:wavey::D

any hobby should initially bring pleasure and only then there will be a result

I play for fun but if I can win a little money it becomes even more exciting ... although at the moment I only play freeroll tournaments since I want to accumulate so that later I can play at real money tables

Play for fun. If I get ITM, it's a pleasant surprise..

Play for fun. Play the freebies to relax, kill time. Poker doesn't have to be binary: 1-win or 2-lose. Option 3 is to loosen up, and see what happens.

Surely a little for both, for fun and why not to earn a little extra.
Finally, for me who is starting out, it's not about to arrive, i have so much to learn. There are wolves everywhere outside.
For the moment i'm having a good time and despite my defeats i'm trying to learn lessons. :)

I play for both things, money is a motivation that makes you overcome your game when you participate in big tournaments, and at the same time you also play because all of us who play poker do not think that there is only one who does not love the game, its mystery, his strategy, his way of enjoying it, something like no other.

Money and ego if i'm just being 100% honest. Love for the game is like the crust that holds the toppings.

I play poker because I enjoy psychology and I enjoy games; poker seems like a good mix to test my skills. It may sound cliche, but I really do play for the challenge as well as to improve - just for the sake of seeing "how good" I might get. :)

I play for both. Because I want money and for fun, poker offers you both. If you play it for fun, the money will come

I have a game as an additional income. It may be small, but it suits me.

I play for fun, but I really want to progress and be able to play a big live tournament, and winning some money is always welcome.

I play for money and for fun. I think poker as a hobby that can give me some extra cash every month and that's very nice, because my others hobbies usually only cost me money :)

I would like to play poker just for fun, but when it brings additional significant earnings, you have to take it very, very seriously, especially pokerrooms are not very fond of when someone earns too much or too often.:D:D
