I play for one main reason. To supplement my disposable income . If I werent a winning player over the long haul, I would quit the game . I actually only enjoy the game, when I win money. I certainly do not love playing , and I usually dont have much in common to talk about with the other players at the table who are obese , like to bet sports , etc. In other words, my hobbies and likes do not usually match those whom I sit with at a poker table.
For me, its all about the cash. When I go on a bad losing streak, I usually quit playing for a few months. Most players cant do this..for me its easy.
