I play poker primarily because I enjoy playing poker. Poker is like a parallel reality for me, like an antidepressant. Poker gives me hope for a better life than the one I have now! :unsure:

To win a big tournament and make at least once, lots of money with it. Also to distract from daily duties.

It exist many reason to play poker. For me it changes from time to time. My girlfriend would say im addicted. Maybe a little bit from these opinion is true, sometimes more sometimes less. In the past i do a lot of sport and there i has these challenge feeling and the competition against other teams. I ll be missing these feeling. And in poker i could have it. It also the thing you could learn about life. Control your emotion, control your bankroll. And you keep the learning in poker to the real life.

Playing poker helps me keep my mind sharp, win some money and has freed me from another addiction.

I only ever play for Fun, Money I can make without the need for gambling, in fact you usually have more problems when you do choose to Gamble, because it can become a problem in itself, As for becoming a Professional, Not in my Future, at my Age, I have already worked hard enough during my Life, and I have earned the right to relax and live off my investments and Pensions, I never intend to work that hard ever again.

Mostly play for fun, but also I play as a way to just relax and sit back. I love the waiting game in poker, the patience, the anticipation and everything. Its more than just simple sheer fun for me.

If I answered all of the options above, would it be a monotonous answer? The beauty of poker is precisely that, there are many things that can attract and in my specific case it is all these issues. It's fun, it makes money, it makes me forget my problems and I also intend to become a professional player.

- You just play for fun.

- To earn a lot of money.

- To distract yourself from problems.

- To become a professional player.

After all, why do you play poker?
I have was diagnosed with leukemia earlier this year and have gone through 8 months of chemo therapy. Good news, I am in remission but the life saving treatment has left my body in rough shape and can not currently work. I find I have a lot of free time now and have turned to poker to help pass the time while my body is recovering at a slow pace. The most benefits I have found with poker is that it is helping my chemo brain.

Some time ago I played justfor fun. I didn't think about developing my skills, winning money, it was just a pastime. Right nów I am trying to become professional player. A dream would be to play EPT.

I actually play for fun, and to earn money. I believe I can do both.
