Would you play poker if you couldn't win money in it?

Yes. I play for fun, but if I win some money it's good. I keep my bankroll on that level that I can always play some centrolls, and couple of tournaments with buyins under $2.

I did it before and I would do it now, while I try not to rust my strategies.

I think it's normal to feel frustration, I play for money, I play because I enjoy the game, ... if you only play to make money and don't enjoy the game maybe give yourself a break👍

Definitely not before I liked to play fake when I was learning now I don't sit at a live table if there's no money involved that's the fun of the game play with money

I would play once in a while. I played virtual chips for almost a year at the beginning of my poker career.

I would play anyway, because it seems to me a sport of the mind, and a trained mind I think keeps you young all the time.

If we had only played with chips with our friends and I hadn't known that this could be done with money, then to this day I would only play like that.
But after that you've played with real money or money, you start to see the game differently.
Regardless, sometimes it can be fun to play with chips with friends while drinking beer .

Probably not, it's like playing with those play chips, people play without caring, the game loses its soul.

Maybe yes. But not with
the frequency and objective that I play normally. Of course, money encourages us to play more and always want to improve.

I think so, but not often. I used to occasionally play with friends just like that. Approximately once a month. I think such a regime would be preserved

If poker were just an online game, the essence of which would be entertainment and there would be no prize pools.
Would you play poker, or would you never come to this card game?
I played a bunch as a kid & teenager but even then we always played for money. The game just isn't the same without it... it gets played much differently.
I would play poker even if it was just to lose money... but it has to be for some sort of monetary prize or the game just sucks!

The only thing I play for nothing is video games.
Poker I played a little when I started at pokerstars, but only while I was a student, when I finished the course I won my first ticket, and from then on I only played for real money.
