If poker didn't involve money would you still find it an amazing game?

[NightStalker]

It's by far the best game with cards.

 

[Geleiro]

The game is the most interesting I've played to date, however I've been trying to imagine what it would be like if there was no money involved in its nature, but I say that as if it was created without the money involved, as if we didn't know it in this format with cash prizes. would it be so interesting? I think that money is a component of poker, and without it a lot of factors would change, and it would lose some of its meaning.

Exactly....and thank god......on many poker sites, we can choose to play with dummy chips
Because we all know that emotion changes for some the value....of money, or free chips.....
and these people never make final tables.....
Because however, it becomes an addiction only....

Without money poker is still a good way to improve the intellect. I think so.

 

[19aleks57]

Money in poker gives players the main interest, where each player tries to maximize his abilities.

 

[Recreationalplayer]

Poker involves strategy and decision making, so its an interesting game irrespective of the money.

Money/reward only adds to the competitive nature of the game and make it more interesting.

 

[OLexZTS]

Yeah, I first played without any money and only with my friends. I love playing chess very often and you can make money with it but only in big roles.

 

[odonob]

No risk so no reward, nope it would hold no interest for me. That is why nobody plays the free games, boring, you need an element of excitement.

 

[valeski 28]

Good afternoon.Without money involved,I think I would only play poker once in a while.The excitement would disappear. This game would not be so popular without money

 

[Dmitriy_rus7]

I think I would have continued to play, but I would have played a lot less.

 

[Alex Sentsov]

Yes, but poker would lose its appeal without money)

 

[juan1579]

I think that if there were no money involved in poker, it would surely not be fun at all, I found it interesting

 

[arshuns]

Poker would definitely lose a lot without money. However, the essence of the game has not changed. Many players are still playing for play money. At the same time, they enjoy the game and do not experience unnecessary stress. Of course I'm not talking about myself.

The fence is gone. Even rummy is worth playing for money

Do you know any cash rummy Apps?

 

[Cooking]

Yes, but only live poker. I think it's very nice to play with friends, to bluff and read your opponents. I would definitely would still play poker, but probably would not spend that much time playing, maybe only on the weekends.

I like poker best, it's wild😈

 

[pjokay]

I think it's interesting too. It would work without money if the players wanted to win but most of the time without money people do not play properly as they are not risking anything.

 

[INISHTE]

I played it for play money before and loved it.

hhaaaaaaa omfg

i am glad i stumbled upon this thread

for i am uniquely qualified like no other

I had a warrant for some years and I couldn't even get an id to open a bank account or verify my bodog/bol account.

So I won 1st place in the 5k and the 2k R+A in the same day had over 4k in my balance and they wouldn't give me the money

So I just kept playing for the love of the game
and I created the Who's the Chipleader thread and the unsurmountable persona AKQ

 

[kanogott]

I think this question has some much deepness. And if i think more and more about it it would be not easier to answer. Long time overall all players it is a loosing situation. Because of the rake. But you have allways this believing that you get this one run. But thats not only lotto. If you would win some big money you must develop a bankroll to play the big tourneys with the lifetime changing wins. So iam play alot but only micro stakes and get some nice cashes. If you realistic you could not win without developing your game and investing alot of time train your game.

and I do Poker stake threads for the same reason
to make money? **** no ..sir..

I am one twisted poker connoisseur

I want to display Heads

If you are prideful and enjoy strategic arrogance after your win
You can't any get better

I cannot explain what it feels like for me to win

Winning means I get to keep head hunting
I promise You

You have never seen an angrier unsatisfied winner

no accolades needed

 

[aissam18]

To be fair no because that's what makes it exciting

 

[AKQ]

It is that's ****** up! 🤘

i just have fun losing for the most part in the league

Everyone knows how to somewhat deal with me and my shenanigans.
I try to prepare everyone to become a better player even if it means telling how to beat me

I think without money this game would be boring.

Then what do you think about the game of chess? Most people do not play this game for money, but simply to improve their skills and enjoy it. The same cannot be said about poker?
