Why do people play Chess, or Tennis or Football? Because it is fun and they enjoy it. Poker does not need to be just for money, sure it is nice to win a little now and again but it is a game that anyone can play, from any Country (regulation permitting) and they don't have to speak the same language, as they know the rules of the game, and on-line it really does not matter what currency you are playing for.
I really do not understand why some people always think they can become millionaire's over night
gambling at any game,
slots, Bingo, Sports betting or Poker, it is never easy and sure some people are lucky at whatever they do, and Dreams do come true for some.
But it all comes down to what your dreams are and if they are attainable, I always dreamed of going to Las Vegas and sitting in the same Seats, at the same Tables, as some of the great Poker players like Doyle Brunson, It has never been about the money, it is all about the atmosphere and playing The Game!
If I was good enough to win a World Series Bracelet, or a E.P.T. Trophy, that for me would be enough, The money only comes 2nd when playing Poker.
When the fun Stops, STOP!
