What is Your Goal When Playing Poker?

[xbursonicx]

I got interested in poker due to watching twitch streams by Jason Somerville. By now i've watched lots of streams by different streamers but never really tried playing myself. But recently (several weeks ago) I finally decided to start playing. For now I have pretty small goals: build bankroll from freerolls (enough to play sng with minimal buy-in) and study the game. What to do next depends on the success in achieving that goal.

Many poker players do not have a one goal when start poker,what would be your goal?
some say they are only playing poker for relaxing moments, and have no goals or dreams of being a great poker player,I play poker for more than 9 years, and I really like this game, after all you put your mind to work at every turn, to know what your opponent has, in the end you even look like a master of the divinations
many say poker is only lucky, others say poker is strategy, and some say poker is just a game where you're stolen all the time,I believe poker is the 3 things at once
It's lucky when you won whit nothing
It's strategy when you play correctly and win
it's theft when everything seems to work, but at the end comes the wrong and you fail
some call it stealing, I call it variance of the game

And you, what do you think of all this?

I want to develop my read on my opponents at the table and also my bluff skills.

Я играю в покер, потому что я люблю покер, я не знаю, как выразить это чувство...
И урок, который я извлекаю из покер-бесценно.

I like the process of the game, excitement

The edge is so small that only very experienced people who have played poker for a long time (in my opinion) can understand this,
At the bottom of the game, since I'm a beginner, my goal is to learn the essence of poker

To knock out of the game more than players to collect more chips.:icon_king

To understand risk in and out of poker in my real life.

To enjoy what I do for a living.

To never work for anyone, never be a 'brand' unless I own that brand. Very important to me to be free as possible in a society that has laws to obey.

I like the process of the game - the emotions that I get =) And it does not matter whether I won or lost (I'm lying, it's important xD)

I'm a poker game, just because I like to think while playing! I want to get inside the mind of your opponent and understand his thoughts. And when I win against a strong opponent, then I was able to be successful at this moment ! Of course, I dream of becoming a strong player and playing at a major tournament with famous players, feel their strength!
