If you won a million dollars, would you quit poker?

[odonob]

Might play higher stakes poker as I could afford it. I would retire with that kind of money so would need something to pass the time.

 

[Pabloro10321]

I would put the money in a fixed term deposit and have a budget of 5 tournaments a year.

 

[hobojim1247]

NO. I play for enjoyment and that money would make it easier to play for enjoyment. I just might buy a motorhome and follow the wsop circuit.

If you win a million dollars from poker, would you think about quitting poker and moving on to another job?

My hobby would still be hobbies even if I were rich

 

[phuchoidey1]

Nó I think I can play game with small buy in fee

 

[Roller]

Most smart players would at least redefine their relationship with poker.

 

[Peteski84]

Why?
More money means more freedom to play.
If you win a million then lose half, take a break or quit.
Personally, nothing would change for me. Only my living standards.

 

[johnwat2]

Nope, Ive been playing for a long ,long time. Poker is in my blood now. A million would be great
for sure!

 

[infonazar]

If you have a business that has earned you a million dollars, would it be right to give it up and look for something else?
That's a strange question
Why give up a lucrative profession?

For someone who truly loves the game, more money usually means more opportunities, not an exit door. A big score just removes constraints. You get to choose better games, take more interesting shots, study without pressure, and explore formats or projects you might not touch while grinding for rent.

In that sense, money doesn’t replace poker, it deepens the relationship with it. When survival isn’t the main driver anymore, what’s left is pure curiosity, passion for improving, and enjoying the game on your own terms.

I wouldn’t stop playing — I’d just play bigger tournaments.

 

[Kpaprince]

I don’t think I would quit poker completely, but I’d definitely change how I approach it. Winning a million dollars would remove financial pressure, which for me is one of the biggest stress factors in poker.

Without the need to grind for income, I’d probably play fewer hours and focus more on enjoying the game—higher-quality sessions, interesting tournaments, or even just playing for the challenge. I think poker becomes more fun when results aren’t tied to daily expenses.

That said, I’d still want to stay involved because poker is more than just money; it’s about competition, learning, and self-control.

 

[MAFNL16061986]

if i would win that i would go on world trip whitht he family adn keep playing for the addiction hihihihihi

 

[Nesehorn156]

If I won a million from poker, I don’t think I’d quit completely, but I’d definitely change how I play. I’d probably take some money off the table, invest part of it, and play poker more for enjoyment instead of pressure. Having that kind of cushion would make it easier to stay disciplined and avoid chasing losses. Poker would become more of a hobby than a grind for me.

I don’t think I can stop gambling , it’s like sport hobby kind stuf

 

[boxwaxer]

Hell no. I’d still lose at micro stakes haha

 

[JhonnyThe357]

If I won that amount, I would play at higher levels, after all, poker is my favorite sport.😎

 

[Emily Trott]

I've loved playing poker for more than 60 years, so why on earth would I quit just because I won a lot of money?

 

[odonob]

I would quit online poker most likely but might play live for the experience. To play the world series of poker would be on the bucket list 🪣.

 

[Do6poPycuk]

Even if I won that amount, I still wouldn't be able to stop playing. I love and respect this game so much that no amount of money can distract me from it. For me, this is a hobby, a part-time job, and considering that there is a war going on outside my window, poker will be with me as long as my heart beats.

 

[AA Miragino AA]

Dude!!! You just won a million dollars!!! Yo are a good player, why would you think about leaving poker? Just quite you're day job and keep playing poker.

Thats right Sir.

 

[Newzooozooo]

If you win a million dollars from poker, would you think about quitting poker and moving on to another job?

Of course not
It's not very smart to quit a game that has brought you so much money.
I would invest the money in various financial assets that would bring me a stable income in the future, and I would devote all my free time to the game.

 

[hobojim1247]

oh hell no. I would put half into CDs , buy me a compact motor home and follow the WSOP and MSPT circuits. After year I would tire of the travel, slow down, stay longer in different locations.

 

[Spielkind]

yes

 

[Jackyjackpot]

No
