Hello. It's quite difficult to find any other words to answer this question, as most of the arguments have already been mentioned. Yes, I continue to play poker online - because I enjoy the feeling of competition, the thrill, and it disciplines me and teaches me perseverance. By participating in poker variant tournaments, I discovered the variety, and now sometimes, as a hobby, I play variants such as Stud 7-Card, Razz, and others.

I play for the social reasons. I play all sorts of games, boards games & card games. Poker is fun and a challenge and you meet interesting people. (I play a lot more live than online)

money is not the main thing for me - learning the game, studying opponents - this is exactly what...

Poker is a part of my lifestyle,I enjoy to play and develop my a game, that is more important than the winning money, I consider that a welcomed bonus.

For me it is the strategy side of things and keeping my mind focused without depleting.

If you don't carry on learning when you get older your brain just goes to mush and we can't be having that.

the main thing is the profits
but why do you play poker?
I am motivated by the joy of winning. It's a great feeling, which is great in itself, but the realisation that I also got money in addition to the victory only enhances this great feeling.

First of all it's emotions because Gambling let it be bets or poker cause a sea of emotions and this is a wonderful feeling!
I agree, but I think that emotions in poker still come second after money.

I play for fun, I play because it's interesting and fun. Of course, for me, like for most of us, the main motivation is profit, but nevertheless, even if I didn't manage to win money, I at least had fun in my free time. Poker is cool :)

The main reason is money, but I also take advantage of this time to keep learning, since in the future I intend to dedicate myself to poker.
