I do genuinely enjoy poker and would play it just for fun, however I really want it to be at minimum a solid side hustle so ultimately it's also for money. Probably a 60:40 split. If the money incentive wasn't there I would be playing and studying a lot less.

Poker is cool. One evening you can visit the top and the bottom. It is not good or bad cards that are important, it is important to be able to play with bad ones. What matters is not what cards you actually have, but what they think the enemy is.

For me Poker is just a hobby, I play for fun and I do not let losses upset me.
I have never deposited any money with any of the sites I play on and any money I win through free-rolls just build my bankroll.
Start off small win around £20--£30 from free-rolls then buy into 10 cent sit and goes, until you get around£100 then move up to 25 cent and 50 cent games and as your bankroll builds move up in stakes.
Even now I have over £230 in my pokerstars account But never play any game over a £1 buy in.
Hard work but all my bankroll supplied by Pokerstars players.

I always play for the fun, I know that many millions are won in massive live tournaments but only by a few talented players.
If it was that easy we would all be millionaires, but alas the real truth is they have had years of hard work before reaching the heights they have attained.
My biggest buy-in was £25 and that was a one off.
Most of the time I play in a weekly £5 tourney and win points as well as the cash pot at the end and the top 4 players in the league advance to a free live Tourney in Manchester.

very intresting
I enjoy playing poker a lot, I just like the process itself, I don't even know why. I follow every upcoming tournament in which I want to take part and set myself up to go as far as possible there. And I really like it when I play against very strong players.

Why do I play?
I started playing off and on the year after Chris Moneymaker won the main event at wsop. I started playing line in Phoenix Arizona where my parents wintered. I enjoyed the game and then when I came back home to canada I bought a few books on poker and read and studied them. I did fairly well at micro stakes online and low level stakes live. In June 2010 I even got super lucky and won a bad beat jackpot on party poker at a .25/.50 c limit table to the tune of $75K. Overall I have made a profit around $125K. I used to have a spreadsheet where I kept track of all winnings +/-. I have gone back to playing mostly free rolls now and micro online at poker stars. I just enjoy the game that has been kind to me.

Nowadays I'm trying to get some extra cash, but the volume I play is too low to get anywhere meaningful. Always played poker because I enjoyed the game and these days I'm trying to become a better player. But I lack focus and objectives I guess.
