Do you play for the money or for fun ?

[LOOPY]

I started playing online, in the hope of making a little money. Haven’t yet, but been having fun trying.
Still learning, and my bankrolls are lasting longer and longer the more I learn.

I'm playing for fun but pleased to report I got 13th in a freeroll. Not big money but fun all the same.

i play to kill time ,which i have today as a retiree

 

[fernandofcp]

I play for money and when I win, the fun automatically comes from the joys of winning.

 

[cferdi]

I play for fun, but it's weird how happy it makes when I win one Dollar and how angry when I loose 50cent.
If I want money, I better go working in the time instead playing poker

I hear you.

I was thinking I play for fun and love the challenge of trying to improve (I really like the little whizz gadget at partypoker for instance) and sometime setting myself little challenges, or aiming for increasing goals, etc. But, of course, it's nice to earn enough to work from my poker balance and not have to deposit, so some wins/money is good too.

But when I read this replay I couldn't help but identify and recognised it as so true for me too!!!!

This is my passion but I make some money too

 

[odonob]

Purely money. Like a job the ends justifies the means. I don’t find any intrinsic pleasure in playing.

Online games for Fun & Live Cash games for Fun & $$$
Online software favors the Crazy wild players & so you can expect to be disturbed by the so-called Bad Beats.
And if you take it too seriously it doesn't become Fun anymore.

Žaidžiu dėl abiejų, bet dažniausiai dėl pinigų, kas ne?

i play too for both

 

[SpaceMage]

I play for fun.

Make some money from freerolls and then use that to play in buy-in tournaments.

With the 888poker change to seat freerolls that part has become a bit more difficult.

Hi all
It is correct to say about me that I play for fun, although I play for money (micro limits)

 

[Swat1197]

Both, fun to lose sometimes

 

[daddybrooks]

For fun of course. Otherwise you'd have seen me on TV already right? That being said, yeah, who wouldn't love to go on a month (or longer) roll/heater where you can't seem to lose and build up a roll large enough to play for real "pro" stakes? I just don't ever count on that being the case and am having enough fun risking $20-$40 in a day at this point.

I usually make a little bit each day and don't usually dip very much and still like playing the freerolls to see how i stack up on the leaderboard too! Being a USA player, it's been fun this last year building up a roll from nothing but freerolls to the point i'm at as well. I keep waiting for PS to get back into the USA game and let me play the $400+ i still have on there too. Optimistic i know...

Lately I've been playing poker just for fun, but I think I'll start ,,investing,, in poker soon .... maybe I'll get some good results

 

[recerveau]

i'm really interested to know everyone's opinion on this , everyone i know right now , plays poker for the money mainely and then if its makes money then its fun

I do not know. Sometimes I play for fun, sometimes just for money. A bipolarity kkkk

 

[TulasMoreno]

i never play for fun, it does not motivate me to be honest!

 

[Lipki3]

Playing for money and playing for fun are two unrelated activities. Personally, I play for fun and at the same time for money.

 

[manzanillo53]

I always play for fun, but I always play to win, I never get the two confused.

 

[lcid86]

I play because poker is fun, but the money is a great way to keep score of how I am playing.

 

[eugenedav]

I play for the money and for the fun also in poker. I have a lot of stories behind playing poker lol.

 

[Djon25]

Mainly for the money

 

[Cooking]

Of course I like the game and it's very nice when you beat all the other players and win a tournament, but if there wasn't any chance of winning money, I wouldn't play almost everyday like I do. Maybe I would only play 1x week in my free time.

 

[COMIRRR]

For both.

 

[blef121]

both but more for fun because it's not very sad when I lose but money gives interest that motivates me to get a better place

 

[Genep66]

More for fun. Money is a bonus but always play for what I can afford to lose.
