I guess its better to focus on your play and not focus on the money.
I started at NL2 and only focussing on my play, I play break even for a month now and I notice I start playing better every week. the little steps.:)

I think play for fun is the best choice.

And obviously you have used Google translator. It's not great, especially 'collided' word looks funny in this context. Try another software. ;)

Obviously, playing for fun, you do not feel psychological pressure. That is why I always play for fun and it brings good results.

I also play for enjoyment but at the same time i do not want to empty my bankroll, I play $1 sit & go's 55c or $1.10 mtts but the more i focus or take too serious the worse the results get so i do not put too much pressure on myself or take too serious when i am relaxed i tend to do better.

Earning money is certainly possible, living from it is very difficult, then it is better to live in a cheaper country.
I would play cash games to earn some extra money and have fun.

When you play for fun and not for money, you rely more on intuition and do not get nervous. When you gamble, for fear of losing money, sometimes you make bad decisions in a nervous state.

Yes, this is called psychology. When you don't expect anything and enjoy the game, it's easier to take risks, and poker likes aggressive players. This is my personal observation. When I play aggressively, I win more despite the terrible losses.

Hello. Interesting question. I am not sure why, but it does me the same. I have learned how to enjoy poker with my own style of play. I always want to get to the final table, but the best way to get there, for me, is to not think about money, but have fun and keep it competitive as well. Really works in cash games for me as well as MTTs.
Cheers!

I think one of the reasons why this happens is because when we play to win money there are much more pressure than when we are only playing to have fun. This is even worse when poker is the player's only job.

Thanks for feedback. I meant the same thing. Probably, for a better playing decisions it would be nice to double (or more) my poker bankroll then, without jump to a higher level yet.

Both. One is part of other, they come side by side.

Hello.
For me, poker is a hobby that brings pleasure regardless of the results. I play for the sake of the game itself. Money is just a nice bonus for me.

Hi everyone! For me, poker is more of a hobby than earnings, but I will not believe those who say that they are not interested in making money in poker, a person always strives to make more money than he has, even if he has a billion, such a person's essence. Best regards, Sergei

For some, online poker rooms are purely a source of entertainment, but some players see poker as a job or a business and this approach is correct. Despite the fact that words such as “poker as a business” sound boring, this is how the user should treat the opportunities to make money in poker rooms if he really wants to make regular profits, and not systematically lose money.

Poker players receive additional or main income in poker rooms. How is this possible? It's just that the player is required to adhere to a profitable strategy that allows you to receive income not every specific day, but in the long term. It turns out that the user can alternately play minus and plus, but in the end he receives income, since the profit exceeds the loss. How much you can get in this way depends directly on the player
