Besides the money, what makes you play poker?

[GarotoMaroto]

I think its a good mind exercise,its a profitable hobby,so if i become a great player one day,it will make me wealth too (but thats money right XD)
God bless

 

[fryderyk]

I play as a hobby and it's just a nice way to relax my mind.

 

[mclay]

I get a kick out of making $ out of the air,,,,starting with 0,then building it up! :ciao: It's fun!

This is a truthful answer, respect! And then some people start telling fables about the highest non-monetary meaning of poker.

the main thing is the profits
but why do you play poker?

I don't play for money, but for love, fun and hobby

There are several opinions about what motivates people to play poker. One camp claims that it is all for the sake of money, others say that poker for them is primarily an interesting pastime, fun and intellectual competition. The problem is that both are right.Many people play poker for microscopic amounts of money just for fun. They don't study the game, they don't try to move up the limits and they usually win just enough to make a deposit again and repeat the process.

I love the excitement of the whole game.

If besides money, then it turns out there is no reason

While profit may be a significant factor, my motivation for playing poker extends beyond mere financial gain. Poker challenges me intellectually, requiring strategic thinking, decision-making under pressure, and reading my opponents. It's a game of skill, psychology, and adaptability, offering not just monetary rewards, but also mental stimulation and personal growth.

It gives me a little boost to stay awake during night shifts

Why do people climb Mountain's, or run Marathon's? Because it is a Challenge! I don't want to Win every MTT I play (would be nice) I just want to do well and finish higher than I did in my last game. Every time I can make the Money bubble I know I have done well, A win, no matter how small the Prize is, It is a win!
If I came in tenth place in a Marathon, I don't think about the nine that beat me, I think about all the other runners I beat to get that place, and if I had never got higher than twentieth in previous race's I feel I have beaten my previous best place. That is an achievement in it's self.
Poker for me is never about the Money, it is about how well I do when I play!

Besides money, playing poker keeps my brain in action, puts my mind to work and also offers a dose of adrenaline, especially when I'm bluffing.

 

[Magallaneroy]

Travel. meeting people.

 

[TulasMoreno]

Only the money, only the money.

 

[Comboss599]

[millya5]

So you've already given the main reason - profit. I would never play poker just for fun, as there are much more interesting things to do. Poker gives the hope of financial independence, gives the hope of collecting enough money for a good life.

 

[Rachidao]

For fun, but I really like 🤑

 

[Claudiunm]

I think Poker is a game that goes far beyond just a source of income. It requires discipline and strategy. Much more than logic in Poker we fight against luck. That's what fascinates me most about Poker.

for me, money is the only thing to still clicking buttons all days

 

[DAVID KEHRER]

I play because i like to gamble and poker is one way that you can put the odds in your favor. YOU can make your money last longer by playing small buy ins and winning a few been doing this for 50 years.

 

[MikeCarasone]

The competition is a big part of it. The desire to improve is important to me.

 

[I Live Poker]

Because it was in poker that I found the path that made me know my vocation and love in God.
A path of self-knowledge and the discernment to understand that alone we are nothing.
Money comes and goes, we can be happy with money and achievements, but we can also be unhappy even though we have everything in this world, but only with its presence does everything gain meaning and purpose.

 

[Leandro6803]

In addition to playing for money, I play for emotion, the feeling of competition and the search for improving the game every day.

 

[fernandofcp]

Your question is interesting. For me, the only reason I play poker is for the money. Any reason other than that would just be a waste of time. There is a popular saying that says “time is money”.

Viewing activities like climbing mountains, running marathons, or playing poker as personal challenges rather than solely focusing on winning reflects a growth mindset. It's about continuous improvement, pushing your limits, and celebrating progress along the way. It's not just about the end result, but also about the journey and the personal growth that comes with it. Keep embracing the challenges and celebrating every milestone you achieve!
