Do you play for the money or for fun ?

[deadinside944]

I play for money only, and freerolls(maybe it's for money too), I think for fun you can play any game but not a poker.

 

[freestocks]

Wait. Making money is fun! Is that a trick question?

 

[Oranaro]

Well I play for the maths: understanding and feeling a theory isn't the same thing. But being able to get both sides, would make you able to make good rigoureous analysis and to be able to take quick and good decisions. Being able to win money for that makes it better! You get motivation from this.

I play for fun money is the reward

 

[Cute Octopussy]

I like poker maths, so for me it’s interesting to play it, to improve my game. But nevertheless money is the main motivation, but when you like your job, when you have fun during it, isn’t it the main reason most of us playing poker? Mostly people play for money, so am I, but a lot of people have fun during it. So my answer is I play for money but I have fun and enjoy it

I play for both, more fun when I'm wining .

 

[BlindThieve420]

I play for the big freeroll money. But mostly for fun.

 

[theRaven68]

I play for the fun only

 

[jj6m]

[frnandoh]

Trying to become it a profitable hobbie.

 

[Backlash]

Play for fun and the freeroll winnings are just a fun product of it.

 

[RENEY444]

i do well in online freerolls once in a while too

cant seem to get many good results when almost everyone seems to be doing plenty of rebuys and addons

 

[AKQ]

I play for neither money nor fun

thats why I'm the best

 

[Tredford]

I play for fun. When it stops being fin, I will stop.
The money is a good guage for how well I'm doing!

 

[Rob Hobson]

Money and fun are welcome...and luck.

 

[viacheslavtezikov]

Lately I've been playing for fun, there was a desire to play for money, but I need to spend time on improving my skills and take the game seriously.

combine business with pleasure

 

[Nik990]

I play in freerolls and at micros) so I think I play for fun)

 

[efranto2286]

Hello, I play for a hobby, so I have fun playing and if some extra money falls, much better...

 

[infonazar]

I've always played poker for fun. I have been playing for more than 11 years now, and for the last 5 years I have been getting a stable profit every month. However, and now I play primarily for fun.

 

[CaptainXL]

Gotta be for fun. I could never earn a decent hourly profit equal to my salary, which I never lose money at.

 

[Igor G]

For me, poker is a hobby. That is, I play primarily for fun, but I do not rule out that poker can be a source of income.

 

[Acadien07]

Play for fun good to win too !

When I work can’t wait to arrive home and play PokerStars ! That’s my way to get a relief from my days work! My wife watch TV and I play Poker not a bad recipe for a good marriage 😃!

 

[Genep66]

I always so play what you can afford to lose! It’s all about having fun and killing some time. The occasional win is a nice bonus.

 

[Polytarp]

i'm really interested to know everyone's opinion on this , everyone i know right now , plays poker for the money mainely and then if its makes money then its fun

Without something to risk and without something at risk poker would be a vacuous game..and game it is. There are a lot of serious things that can be acquired by playing poker, for instance, take a look at the MIT OCW lectures. Money and careers are built on developing good decisions and the only way you can appreciate this is by the sting of defeat and the applause of success.
