Poker without prizes

[RENEY444]

Watch the early stages of a freeroll ....its almost the same thing . The ' I couldn't care less attitude '.

 

[Toruk Makto]

Just like any job where the worker expects the reward after working, so is poker, the player must have to fight for to cheer up.

What makes poker really competitive are the prizes because whether they like it or not, everyone wants to win some more money!💰💲

 

[WrongUsername]

nobody would play poker at all without prize money

 

[nighton]

The prices are necesary will be just playing for nothing it could take the emotions of this game.

Hello, I think the majority would not play, but those who really love this game I think we would continue playing, of course poker became famous for the amounts of prize money in the different tournaments and that is what attracts people. Obviously there are also those who want to be the best of all and demonstrate it in tournaments.

no money, no play

What would happen with No limit Texas holdem and poker if there were no prizes awarded?

The very essence of poker involves the possibility of receiving a monetary reward. This is the essence of the game, without money the game loses its meaning. If there were no prizes, poker would simply remain a little-known card game like hundreds of others.

There would be competition for trophies. But a lot of people, like me, wouldn't be interested.

In order for the discipline to develop and be in demand, there must be a principle of competition and prizes, but in any case, people will play poker, maybe much fewer people, but they will play.

Hello!
Without prizes this game wouldn't be as attractive as it is now. The motivation to play poker is winning, and winning has two sides: the competition AND the money! Without money poker would be fun and a very good game, but never as populaf as it is today.
I play for the money!
Gl at the tables.

If no prizes were awarded, no one would play holdem poker.

 

[Risto234]

In such case eventual result would be the same as this forum to scrap all freerolls etc ...

Literally no good.

 

[GERSteven]

Poker would no longer be as interesting and would have no future.

Poker with cash prizes is a chance for everyone (even without special skills or qualifications, etc.) to achieve something great and this incentive would be missing.

 

[German629]

Poker without prizes?!. Hm, I don't understand! Then why to play?!. What sense?! By my opinon, it's a stupid question!

 

[olejean]

Then it would be difficult to call it as a competition.

 

[farmoline]

I would love to play poker even if together with cash prizes there would be a rating system like MMR in dota for example

 

[farmoline]

Just like any job where the worker expects the reward after working, so is poker, the player must have to fight for to cheer up.

Poker is more of a game than a job

 

[Rachidao]

I think people would play careless and poker turn into a giant bingo.

 

[dzsire]

Those who are already addicted to the game would continue to play even if there is no more prize money, they would only fight for chips, not money.
The assumption is also wrong: there is so much money in poker that such a situation will never occur.

 

[CataRouillet]

I don't think I would play it the same way. Knowing that you are not risking real money everyone would play with any hand and it would not matter.

 

[Gallarado777]

poker is divided into 2 categories of people: people who play for money and people who play just for fun with friends and family and colleagues, so if there were no prizes in poker, the small part of people who play with friends would remain and an increasing number of people would go to casinos or other games

 

[MK_]

I think there's always a prize when playing any game... could be money, or bragging rights or just the fun of winning. Those who do anything just for money will always come and go😎👍

 

[speper]

There will be a shortage of players and it may become a game for children only

 

[ShaDoWGuarD]

Well, if poker were a game without money, I think a lot fewer people would play it than it is now. Yes, there are advantages, for example, many people would not lose their money on it. On the other hand, it would just be a boring game.
