For me. a bit of each, and also a very good time pass that may or may not pay off.

To be honest, I wouldn't play or study poker that much just for fun. The possibility of earning money plays a huge role in this.

I'll tell you honestly, I like playing poker, but if there weren't any prizes at stake I wouldn't play!

The reward is better, then pleasure appears and the mood rises.

Mostly for profit. I wanted to be a poker pro almost from day one for the financial freedom part of it.

Profits, no doubt. I would buy some pleasurable thing with the profits.

only profits, that's what matters. I can suffer indefinitely as long as there is some profit

When playing only low stakes & profits will not pay bills regularly, its just playing for pleasure. Lest playing high stakes to pay bills regularly, then its playing for profit.

I started playing because I really liked the game. But right now I play to improve and add bankroll. In other words, I'm playing for a profit.

I don’t even know what to say, I enjoy the game when I play and make a profit :) I don’t think that any of the players can enjoy the game while losing, even if it’s a game for play chips!!!

Hi
Poker brings me more pleasure than money, nevertheless, poker is my favorite hobby. Therefore, first of all, I play for the pleasure of the game, and the second factor that also motivates me is money.
Good luck :)

poker is both fun and profit for me, I play my favorite game and earn it's just as cool so I can't share these 2 factors. Both options are suitable for me, I think, like many poker players, it's cool to play their favorite game and get paid for it

Both pleasure and profit are important to me. Unfortunately, profit does not happen as often as I would like, but the pleasure of the game process is also a good motivation.

I don't play for the money but for the please if it. I was once an athlete and poker allow me to fill that void on competition play for the tournament win. Now don't think it does not mean i don't care about the money, but I can get the same thrills winning $10 or $200
