What is it that keeps you excited about playing poker?

[bodil19982]

Variety of play and the ability to influence the outcome

Decisions. Unfortunately for me poker has been an addiction. I had no idea what poker was about. But it kept my mind busy and I loved it.
Poker is like the game of life. You can make all the good resolutions and have the best starting hand, but in the end it will not guarantee a win.

i just love playing games so the chance to make money as well is an added bonus

Money.
What interests me about poker is the money I can make playing. What interests me about poker are promotions, freerolls, and anything that allows me to make money without risking it. What interests me about poker is the feeling of satisfaction when I play better than others and get better results.

Competition (sometimes rewarded with winnings too)

I believe it's the money, lol, and also the hobby.

The thrill of winning a tournament... I know there are many formats, but what keeps me excited is winning a big tournament.

Not a lot at the moment. Busted out early again tonight in the PLO8 bounty.

What keeps me excited about poker is that no two sessions are ever the same. Every hand is a new puzzle, every opponent a new challenge.
I love the mix of skill and uncertainty. You can make the right decision and still lose and that teaches patience, discipline, and humility.
Poker also rewards progress. When you notice fewer mistakes, better reads, calmer emotions, you feel yourself growing as a player.
And finally, it’s the dream: turning knowledge, mindset, and courage into real results.
That constant battle between mind and variance is what keeps me coming back.

For me, it’s those rare moments when everything clicks reading an opponent perfectly, making the right bet, and watching them fold or call exactly as you predicted. It’s a mix of strategy, psychology, and timing all coming together, and it feels almost like solving a puzzle in real time. Those hands are fleeting, but they’re so satisfying that they keep me coming back, because no other game or hobby gives that same combination of challenge, adrenaline, and reward.

Probably, as soon as there is free time, this is already a reason to return to poker.

If you had to pick one moment that keeps you coming back to poker, what would it be — and why?

Winnings has always been my main motivation. Money is just a bonus for me. The feeling of victory is what keeps me coming back every time.

Если бы вам пришлось выбрать один момент, который заставляет вас возвращаться к покеру снова и снова, что бы это было — и почему?

Hobbies and earnings)

 

[Magallaneroy]

The prices, the money you can win and to travel!

 

[andron205]

Enthusiasm is added by a guarantee of tournament prizes

 

[martinoni]

Meet new people and see evolution in all skills necessary to make me a better player in comparison with my own self

 

[22Racks]

Reading opponents, making the right decision under pressure, and seeing your strategy work over time is really satisfying

 

[flattershay]

I think that every hand is unique and new. I like that in poker and in other games.

 

[pavel1111111]

I like the moment în the river when i have to make the right decision 😁

 

[valeski 28]

Both the adrenaline of this game and the opportunities to earn money.

 

[Roller]

For me is not the money, it the puzzle that never stops changing.
