I pretty much just enjoy the game . I wish I could be better at it but I don't have the time and discipline to invest . So I just play for amusement.

My goal is three fold:
1. To make the maximize profit and minimize loss2. To enjoy the game and not get stressed out about it, as long as I'm making the right decision.
3. Ultimate goal is to play the Main Event at least one time in the next few years.

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?
The strategy should be based on facts. And what facts you can have besides personal experience of luck and maps that you see on the table - you can foresee - if you follow the rivals and take notes in the notebook about the behavior of the players of rivals. This can be done by watching the games in the lobby. But I doubt that it's someone who does it so it's time to waste on it. But if you think this is a big plus, even if our tournament is 100 daily for club members, it's enough to analyze the list of leading players and not necessarily to follow all 200 -300 players - the most experienced often make mistakes and repeat - thus knowing these weaknesses this das more chances when playing with them. :) That is, always the strong side of an opponent can be turned into his weakness.

My goal, would be to recover the bench that I had a year ago, which has taken me the bad bets, if I manage to reach higher levels, if a good pump comes there it's time to stop and buy me a piece of land and make my house and then resume and continue playing patiently.

When i started playing poker i started playing casual and for fun because i liked the game. Once i learned the strategies and calculating the odds and everything when i got deeper to the game i found myself in a spot where i can earn money. My goal when playing poker is to win every tournament i register, but suddenly something come across and that's not possible. So mainly when i'm playing poker looking the way how to earn money and win the tournament. I'm grinding everyday with a profit from 45$- 60$ that's my daily goal. I managed my bankroll good and this is possible for me. In the end i really like poker and i enjoy the most i'm playing it for living and it's going good.

personally for me, the game of poker is a lot of fun and adrenaline, to make new acquaintances and communication well, of course we should not forget that the game of poker can earn. and to everything that I said I would like to add that you really want to become famous and successful poker player even wealth is not important to the average standard of living (money), I was fully satisfied. I wish you success and enjoyment from the game

I play poker as a hobby and pastime, but also to win. It's a semi serious hobby that I'm now taking more seriously as my circumstances have changed.

I play mainly tournament poker so you really have to love the game to come back day after day to know you're going to lose most of the games you play. It's those deep runs, the games where everything works, where all of the hard work I put in comes together when my reads are spot on, my timing is perfect and I end up with all the chips that keeps me coming back. The challenge to constantly improve, to move up in stakes and adjust my play to be competitive, it's truly a wonderful challenge for me to have from my couch. I have a chronic illness which keeps me at home a lot, so it's perfect for me.

The goal is to win but the rigging makes that difficult.

My first big goal is to become a winning poker player. My next goal is to be good enough and build my bankroll up enough to move up in stakes and then become profitable at those stakes. Overall I want to see how good I can get and see how high in stakes I can get and be profitable. I have a big bankroll excel sheet I made to record this and see my progress. It's exciting to me
