If poker didn't involve money would you still find it an amazing game?

[jazux48]

yes, I once got acquainted with poker as a chip game, for fun

 

[CriesuaID]

Yes, I could play Poker even without prizes like I play Truco and Canastra.

 

[danydidi]

Sure not .cause I don't care for all card games ,only poker .I think money is the reason

 

[VladB850]

Yes but not in online. If I play with play money in online I can't find any excitement but if I play for fun with friends the situation changes

 

[helen27_7]

Once I started playing VKontakte poker exclusively for chips

 

[TaNIAnT]

I started playing poker just for fun with friends as it`s quite interesting game for us, but in such way as it goes in tournaments - to play for several hours to outplay hundreds of people - poker will surely become much less popular as there will be no meaning to spend so much time on it.

 

[Pokerguy6666]

I would not play if it wasn't for money.

 

[FrizzaoR]

The game is amazing, but the money makes it a lot more emotional

 

[Cyclguy]

Try sitting down and playing with no money. I found that there was very little to make it interesting and besides, people play differently when there are no stakes, it's not the same game.

polarized voting like everything else on the planet
has anyone ever thought that all activities that contain real beauty on earth do not contain duality.
Ask the poets if or the readers of the poems if the influence of money would make a difference.
Ask musicians if they would stop playing or enjoying music because they aren't making money from it. Or ask a fan who spent a lot of money to see their idol if they regretted it. There is another point which is the following, things that contain real beauty do not label what is professional or not, they do not divide they unite and welcome. And they propagate beauty because there is no division, there is a vision of multiple points of beauty and it is not limited to 1 or 2

And go back to play go fish, nah Poker wins

 

[Zaner]

definitely no,poker without money doesn't exist

 

[Edu1]

no, without money involved, poker would be a waste of time.

 

[yuriko oyama]

I wouldn't play, all the stress without a financial return, for me it wouldn't be worth it.

 

[Dimidrol2]

Without money, it is also interesting, but when there is an element of remuneration for work, it is doubly pleasant. There is another side of poker, when you lose money, it makes people unhappy and, unfortunately, it can affect life in the future, as well as with big wins.

 

[MAGICUZ]

I think that poker is a wonderful game, but without money it would not be interesting to me.All the emotions in the game are all thanks to money

 

[Eduard0Felipe]

Without a doubt, I don't play for the money, I play for fun and evolution, the money should follow.

 

[TaNIAnT]

Without a doubt, I don't play for the money, I play for fun and evolution, the money should follow.

Poker shouldn`t be the way to win money, for me it`s just a great entertaining, though winning money surely is enjoyable thing.

 

[hennessy5]

First few months I only played with play money to get familiar with poker. While it was fun to a certain point, poker needs money to make it interesting.

 

[offshore11000]

It's hard to answer this question precisely, it reminds me of card games just for fun, which were pretty cool too

 

[Alex Sentsov]

Yes, of course. A great game, but a little boring)))

 

[Felecamo]

Cashless poker isn't that exciting, play for play money and you'll answer your question

 

[LUKADONCICMVP]

no, for what u playing for if not for the money?

 

[G0930]

No and I tell you why.
The game itself is awesome with or without money. But playing without money takes away some seriousness . At least in my experience people take the game less seriously than If it envolved real money.
Even at real money game you have some discrepancies. If it is not a Homegame or a CardsChat freeroll 😉 you also find enough people where you can see they don't cherish and appreciate the game as much . Especially in microstakes.
It's more about mindnumbing gambling moves than actual good poker.

One of the many reason I enjoy our community.
You can see almost anyone is here for the game.
Potential prize money is just a bonus..
As it should be 👌🏼

hhaaaaaaa omfg

i am glad i stumbled upon this thread

for i am uniquely qualified like no other

I had a warrant for some years and I couldn't even get an id to open a bank account or verify my bodog/bol account.

So I won 1st place in the 5k and the 2k R+A in the same day had over 4k in my balance and they wouldn't give me the money

So I just kept playing for the love of the game
and I created the Who's the Chipleader thread and the unsurmountable persona AKQ

Did you got the money at now at least ?
If not you probably could file a lawsuit .
My uncle is a successful lawyer ,you need one ?🤣
