I totally love playing poker but only Texas NL Holdem tbh. It’s such a well balanced simple game which is also super complex on many different levels. This all sounds cheesy but you know what I mean.
I wish I played in 2004 like I do now, possibly wouldn’t have lost as much

One of the most common motives is money. Dynamic and not very difficult, the game allows you to quickly and without much difficulty to get a considerable amount of money. The modern poker industry can allow a person who has caught luck by the tail to live comfortably on the money received or even on a percentage of the winnings. However, the poker game does not always end well for the players. There are many cases when a person, having incorrectly chosen a position in poker, completely loses, gets into debt. But do not blame poker for everything – the game is not to blame for the fact that people are unable to control their own actions. The feeling of excitement is often disastrous and leads to disastrous results, regardless of the type of activity.
Another reason for playing poker is personal growth. Poker develops thinking and judgment, helps you feel more confident, develops diligence and teaches you to think ahead. In addition, playing poker allows you to feel people, feel their emotions, understand them better. And, of course, you can't do without a sense of proportion here. Even if you don't know when to stop, poker will quickly teach you to understand at what point it is worth trying hard, and when it will be painless to retreat.
And the last, most pleasant reason for playing poker is the appearance of a sense of rivalry and excitement. In small doses, excitement, as well as healthy competition, are vital to a person. Big and small victories make you feel more confident, raise your self-esteem.

FUN!
I have always played games, since the first time I could throw a dice, Snakes and Ladders, Ludo, growing up my games changed to Monopoly, Cluedo, Risk and many, many more, the best part is that you are part of the game, and to be a winner, you just need to be lucky.
I could set up a Chess board before I started school, and was the Chess Champion of our school for 4 years running, I just loved getting involved and winning at anything I tried, I didn't win all the time because that is the nature of any game, but it taught me to accept defeat and try harder the next time I played.
Practice, Practice, and Practice again just like any game, and Poker is no different, you have to accept defeat when you lose, pick yourself up and try again, I would play Poker or any card game for match-sticks if I had to, it has never been about winning money, it is always about the competition, the battle between you and the rest of the World that want to try their luck.
Winning is great, whether it is the wsop or a game of Snap with your Grandchildren, they think Granddad is cool when he can win on the Play Station or X-Box and Poker is no different, It is Fun, Enjoyable, even Exciting past-time, the only difference is that there is prize money at the end, and whether it is $20 Dollars in a Free-roll or Thousands of Dollars in a huge event, the best part is being the last man standing.
When the fun Stops, STOP!

I play poker because it's an interesting way to earn money of the fish... a difficult game that you need to understand the way how to win, a game that eludes those who don't know it..... love this incomplete calculus that mixes logical cleverness with luck
