Why do you play poker for money or fun?

[carlosnuno]

i play for for both

 

[aviatorsam]

I think there is a mix, a balance between both!

 

[Andrii Lubentsov]

I play for fun but money is always welcome.

 

[filippfilm]

I play for both. I'm pretty much house bound, therefore playing helps past the time. And I play for money. I don't make much, but since my only income is Social Security every penny helps.
Somedays maybe win a few dollar and some days maybe .25 cents. Then there are days I win nada (nothing).

At first it was just a hobby for fun. But as the years passed, I started to play better and of course I wanted to win money at poker.

Speaking for myself, even though I enjoy playing poker, I would not continue to play if I could not beat the smallest stakes. I no longer put the hours into study that I should so I only occasionally play mid stakes. I can still generate profit at the micros so that is how I enjoy the game without losing money

 

[Sirkiba]

Mainly fun only buying in what I can afford to lose, though on average I'm actually profitable. I guess it helps that I can play calmly. Wouldn't yolo my life savings on poker though. It's way easier to make money from investments.

Both.
I play for fun, and hopefully get some money in the process.... Lol

These days I play mostly for fun. I gave up poker mostly around 10 years ago after Black Friday and I'm now getting back into the online scene since live has been a no go.

I love the challenge even if micros are much tougher now. Just trying to get back to winning ways while not losing my shirt in the process!

Because I don't like Chess very much, I find checkers boring, and poker, besides being a hobby, have "prizes". :icon_bigs

 

[Vivaly]

I play to win. For fun I can play solitaire games.

 

[Kucher189]

I play to win, but for me it is a pleasant rest after a hard day at work.

 

[Martin Carreira]

I think it's a bit of both. Playing poker with nothing at stake I don't think would make sense. It is nice to be able to feel the adrenaline of playing for a certain amount of money, having your strategy and this makes it a very exciting and fun game. Funny especially when you win haha

Money or fun

It sounds funny, but poker is a monetary entertainment. Making money or having fun is a strange question, but the answers are intriguing.

 

[schtiuky]

Only for fun.

 

[Pibo1797]

I play for Money but i also hace fun playing poker

 

[satriyo]

Thousands of dollars

I've always played for fun, but I dream every day of being at a table playing for thousands of dollars:deal:

 

[Geksan_87]

for both ))) I will never do for money what I don't like in fact. That's why I can say that I also play for fun.

 

[Kehzi]

Playing poker as a source of income is too much of a brutal grind for me personally. I play recreationally and am just trying to get better at the game.

 

[FSIU29]

Dont have money playing level

would love to play for money. but feel i dont have a winning level to play for real money. will be playing for fun though

 

[Rui Ferreira]

I play for both reasons so much because I like it so much for the money

"Not always winning. Not always losing, but... Always playing!"

 

[jleon_zat]

I play mostly for fun and to pass the time, I don't have a lot of time playing

 

[azforlife]

I guess it's a bit of both but the more down the hole I get, the less I enjoy Poker & the more I'm playin for the money

 

[zipocool]

The ideal option is to combine money and pleasure, and of course you should try to play on a bankroll

Poker

I enjoy the challenge. Of course, my goal is to win, but that's not always under my control
