It motivates me more is to see that what I studied and absorbed, I am able to put into practice.
I think it is very important to review the tournaments before playing!

It's really hard to stay motivated. I mean I've been trying to become a better player for a long time now and I just seem to keep getting knocked down. I've been thinking about giving up on it for a couple weeks. That's why I'm trying to be more active in here. Maybe that will help my game but it really just seems to be making it worse. Poker has been my dream job for so long I really don't know what else I would do if I quit. I guess boardem is my biggest motivation now.

Personally I've taken a proper break from poker on more than one occasion over the last 10-15 years, probably due to other stuff happening in my life and yeah, a string of bad beats don't help - the straw that breaks the camels back etc etc ... but I always find myself coming back to the table lol ......... so keeping motivated is important, it's not all sun and rainbows or what ever that saying is ..

:D

I am motivated to play poker by the fact that, while doing what I love, I will be able to earn money in the future and travel around the world. It's certainly only a dream, but who knows - you can achieve everything. Only after thinking that winning one of the tournaments you can get a lot of money.

what motivates me to play poker is knowing that I am a very good player, despite my faults of not having much patience with people who talk too much and those who take too long to play.

Positivity haaaas to be the the #1 thing to remember when trying to stay motivated in this sometime gloomy game. The bottom line is that poker in its base form is a game. I understand people taking it seriously especially if its your only source of income but its just as important to remember its a game.

Stay positive and make the correct decisions. Your play will speak for itself and your motivation will be through the roof!!!
