I play MTTs and I would say, I play for competition. It is a mixed thing for me. Money is an expression for success.

ultimately i'm playing for money, but atm i don't care about the money because I'm mainly playing for fun. If I could get poker to pay for a drink or two each week that'll be great, but it's also just fun trying to bluff, and read others hands

I like the game, and love a competitive environment more generally. Playing mostly for fun. Money is a plus.

In my opinion its a mix of both, fun and money...Both work together, without fun theres no money and sometimes without money theres no fun ;)

I started playing online for the money. Then realized i needed to work on my game. Now i play for fun in the hopes to play for money again someday.
I started out by losing my initial bankroll. But now i tend to break even or win/lose a small amount. Maybe 5$ in losses or wins.

Only bet what you can afford to lose! Few dollars here and there shouldn’t break the bank for most people.

The opportunity to win money and still beat your opponents is the fun of poker!

Gotta love the early freeroll tournament players.... AQs Jam to a 2.3bb raise (guy has played everyhand and showed A6o as his best hand). Guy calls and random BB calls all in.. im like ok here we go... flop QJ2 .. 7... 4... ok should be good here, guy turns over KQo.. nice.. and the just the guy left who called a jam ... He has a monster, should have known better... He turns over J2o...

Both, but because the amount of money I make with poker is so small, it is mainly because of fun. But I try to make as much money as possible.

Throwing some money that you don't need, makes the game much cooler!

Definitely not for the money but it's exciting to win money lol
It's more for the rush. I like the extreme hands and hard beats. Large pots and multiple players in make it more exciting.

Of course, for entertainment, because at the stakes that I play, you won’t earn much. Not at a loss and that's good!
