I'm not playing to become a millionaire but I am playing because of the money. Without that there's just no point in my opinion. My goal is to be able to make a living someday just by playing poker so I wouldn't have to work anymore. That dream is the motivation that drives me further and makes me want to improve and study. However, I do love the game itself also and I think that you need to love the game to be able to success in it, no matter what. But all in all it does come down to money and I wouldn't play anymore if the money would be excluded from the game.
Your original question was that would we play if we were already millionaires and I think the answer to that is yes. Because then I would be able to play bigger games with bigger bankroll and keep making some more money.
Wow, I sound like a person who loves nothing but money but in the end I just crave the freedom that comes with it.
