I stick a competitive aspect. If somewhere you can become the best, I will spend 20 thousand hours on it, but I will

Congratulations on the will and perseverance
If you spend so much time and want to become the best you have to have a great motive

I like to play poker because it's interesting. And a little extra money will never be redundant.

Adrenaline and making some coinage are two very good reasons, I'd have to agree you can't beat the enjoyment of doing well in a tough and well rounded tournament.

I'm not sure about number 3
I know people who play 10-15 hours of poker every day
If poker is really a good exercise for the brain, some people would be smart as Tesla :p :D

Honest answers
Of course, we all love the adrenaline that gives us the game
And of course, a little extra money always makes life better ;)

I like the challenge of being outnumbered and taking everyone out. Outsmarting and outplaying everyone. Manipulating and controlling the action and the end result. Last man standing. A battle royal of whits. I Love it.:fight::boxing:

Because it calibrates your brain and improves your decision-making. It's very exciting, you play it from the ease of your home, and it gives you a sense of achievement when you get better and better and you see that on your bankroll ;)

I play poker for 2 years .. I play for the sake of hobbies. I play freerolls. To earn money in poker you need to go through a big school) and of course you won’t earn in freerolls ....

I have the same reasons for playing poker as you have, 1) getting adrenaline from the game 2) trying to win money and get extra profit!

For my poker it is more than a game ... it tests our mental capacity in many ways ... what fascinates me most is that it is not a mechanical game in which you learn a routine and put it into practice and ready. .. no ... in this game every day you face different situations against different players and you always have to be very focused to make the best decisions ...

Definitely partly the money, the challenge of trying to come first out of thousands of players but also think it's a clever game. Another important factor for me is you are no "playing the house" but each other.

Main factor is money, who ever says otherwise is lying. Other than that, competition, adrenaline( it wouldn't be such thing if there was no money), it's a unique thing, not that many people play it and u know almost everyone from your area who plays it, and with so many bright minds it's challenging to play such game.
