I gues the answer is the same for all, cause we need money:)). If poker will be just on virtual coins, the pool of players will be low close to 0.

The game is fascinating, involves several things at once, concentration, skill, probability and a lot of emotion. Today is my favorite hobby.

I play poker, because it brings me great pleasure. I get inexpressible emotions. And also there is the possibility of new interesting acquaintances and pleasant communication. And most importantly, you can earn some money

I play because I like very much this game , it's more than a hobby , I know my limits , I know how good I am , I am trying (very very slowly is the truth :D....:eek:) to improve and play better , I have fun and I dream someday to hit a big score . How big this score I don't know , I like dreaming , LOL :)

For now I am satisfied playing , having fun , improving my game as much as I can , most important maintaining my bankroll cause now I know my capabilities , what I am able for , so playing for more money , or more tournamnets , generally risk more won't do anything good , I have to be extra carefull until I get better and more skilled and aggressive , cause in the past I wasn't carefull .

Only casino games made me some weeks ago reload my bankroll at some sites , I wanted to try more and make a systematic research for slots , how to play them , where they pay and where not so much etc :) thankfully now everything is settled and managed/controlled also for casino games alongside with poker , so now I am happy :)

My friend, when filling out an application for admission to a new job, indicated in the questionnaire that he had a hobby of poker. He was not taken to work because of this. When he told me this, I told him "why work if the salary for a month brings only half of your income in poker." He smiled and replied that not everything is eternal.
I play because I dream of becoming wealthy, although my level is far from professional, but I also had 1 prize money in some tournaments.
I play because I enjoy this fervor that arises when you win, and who does not love it))

I play poker cause of the love for the game, and I guess wealth can come from it too, but not why I play. It is relaxing playing out of your own home, with some drinks and smokes. Taught me some life lessons like patients, also take losing better now and to see how winning feels like when I played sports as a child. I always got upset losing now it helps me and makes you think of your mistakes to becoming better at it.

Poker is a form of entertainment for me as well as a little extra income to spend on the things I may want but don't want to take use my paycheck (family) money on.

Right now i play mostly freerolls or some tournaments with added money. Have really dissapointed feelings cause of cash games and mtt in online. It seems for me, that right now to win in online poker is more harder than a few years ago.
So i aslo ask myself question, why i still keep trying to play poker in online. The more i play it, the more dissapointed feelings i have.
I just can,t believe that people. Also i don,t understand, why i always get many bad beats and coolers after i made a cashout.

I play poker because I think a nice sport works the mind and is also competitive which makes us think and face various situations in the game is fun to pass the time and if you are a day of inspiration can also profit from it which is very attractive the game is fun and can give us financial returns

It is also safe the online poker you play your home in the quiet and the schedule you see fit then it is very fun.

love playing cards

I just love playing cards, When I was a kid we played, hearts, spades canasta, and just about any other card game. We played stud and draw poker, I never heard of tx holdem til around 2000 or so. I saw a game on TV once. They just dealt cards and folded around to the BB about 3 times, this was before pocket cams and I thought, WTH? Seems pretty goofy. It wasn't until I saw a hand with pocket cams and figured out what the point was. It got really interesting really fast. Very challenging game. I play free rolls and have gone out to the casino and actually won a few $$ in a live turny It would be nice to get rich but I play because I enjoy it and I don't gamble cuz I ain't got no $$ to lose.....lol

I play poker because it is an exciting game with a lot of action. It can be played online so this makes it very practical. The fact that it is played with money makes it more interesting!

I started playing poker for fun. I was curious and wanted to learn a game I always saw in movies.
At the beginning like all of us, I played in fictional game sites. One day I decided to participate in games with real money.
From that moment I discovered the difference, and I started to practice it regularly.
I soon discovered my mistakes in the game and started working to correct them.
I currently feel that I have a lot to experience, in the world of poker.
Why am I still playing? Because I like it and because I have the dream that I think we have many, which is to win an important tournament and that my life changes forever.
regards

Because I can. I'm getting older and my mind is still sharp, my body not so much.
