I play because I love the competition. I used to play a lot of online chess back in high school. I loved watching my rating go up and moving up against stronger opponents.

Poker is similar to chess for me. It's a game of strategy and you can watch your bankroll go up and move up in stakes (stronger opponents) as you improve. It's the competition, the challenge and the constant drive for improvement that keeps me playing.

Most of the people do it for money! If they say they do it for fun.. It might be also right, but the biggest motivation is of course the money and winning.

A good motivation in playing poker, well I guess you need to have the eagerness to win and at the same time have fun.

My geratest motivation is desire to play better and better. So that's why I try to read books and train a lot. The last book I've read was "poekr by the book" ( small offtop :) )
Now I've got one more motivation. I want to earn money for new car :)
