mmm, it would be weird and funny in this situation, but money is the best motivation

 

[cwdignus]

ITM ...reaching in a 5k play field motivates me a lot, especially in freerolls, I feel like a great magician who makes money out of nowhere

 

[Rahatis]

As long as I am having fun and making money I don't care about bad beats.

 

[azteca6]

I really don't think I can live on this because it takes too much time a day but it motivates me to play, I have fun, I get distracted, it clears my mind and it helps me think more than anything and from time to time a few dollars in the bag

Hi, friend!
I like to set my own records in a certain discipline and I always strive to surpass myself. When I set a new record for the amount of money won, or a place in the standings of a certain event, it really drives me.
When there's a big losing streak, it's really hard for me to find the motivation to play. I just take a short break and then come back to poker with renewed vigor)

In the end it is the loosing streak that can also motivate me. The law of variance says, after bad luck you must have good luck. The difficulty is to still realize how much the human factor plays in. So, did I maybe fold too many hands and play too tightly?

Competition and money

 

[theStarfish]

It is a great game, simple as that! This game is so much fun, exciting, has a little bit of everything, math, psychology etc. And besides, the possibility to make a bit of money is of course also nice.

Poker is just pure entertainment, and any money involved is just an added bonus. I don't play high enough to experience any type of life changing financial swings, and frankly I prefer it that way.

I’m just naturally stubborn. When I start something I don’t quit until I succeed. My trainer told me long time ago: “ out of two competitors the only one winning is the one that doesn’t give up.”
I apply this to everything in life. Practice makes perfect so don’t quit and just keep practising.
Don’t let your small defeats get to you. Cherish them, learn from them and move forward.

First of all, it is worth understanding that poker does not give a damn about your “Wishlist”. Don't wanna play? Doesn't the soul lie in the analysis of the base? Yes, no problem, only in the end the profit will be appropriate. And if the wolf from the famous saying “feeds the legs”, then any poker player needs his brains and discipline. Therefore, the ability to cope with bouts of pernicious and strongly dampening apathy in relation to everything that happens on a computer monitor or at a poker table in a live club is a basic skill that anyone who wants to make a living playing poker needs to master. Sometimes it is more important than skill, mathematics and creative approach to the game.

Hi.
I am motivated above all by my victories. For me, poker is a hobby that brings me pleasure, but my victories due to my skills and experience motivate me the most.

 

[jonaselloco]

I am quite obsessed with improving my game, that motivates me.
Sometimes I do half-crazy things but they work out there.
I am very motivated by the matter of entering the ITM and increasing my bankroll, always having the possibility of reaching the final table and even winning the MTT.
My goal in an MTT is ITM, final table and 1st place. Everything that enters this spectrum is an accomplished goal.
That's why I don't understand too much the players who enter and the 1st hand already go allin, it is more often it even bothers me a little but I respect their decisions.
It also motivates me a lot to be able to make a good bankroll to enjoy a little more of better tournaments and also have some profit to enjoy a trip with my wife Patricia without logically leaving Jonas my dog aside hahahaha
Greetings brother good post

What motivates is hope....... It dosn't matter how many times you lose It's just the feeling of the winning tht keeps you coming back for more.

 

[Lipki3]

I am motivated by the interest in the game. The problem is that I don't always have it.

My motivation rests in the trust I have in my own strategic abilities and understanding the laziness of the majority of players.

I know that I have a distinct advantage over 95% of the players I face, and this brings me back to the tables over and over again.

Consistent profit and additions to my bank account are nice.

I am motivated by the interest in the game and good time.

[Daen27]

I read the history of poker players or watch streamers and I see the same thing with them but at the same time where they end up winning 1 out of 10 tournaments and go to +
Here is the motivation

 

[dompoker]

I am motivated by my family, everything I do is for them.
