which is your greater motivation to play poker?

[6bet me]

I play because I love the competition. I used to play a lot of online chess back in high school. I loved watching my rating go up and moving up against stronger opponents.

Poker is similar to chess for me. It's a game of strategy and you can watch your bankroll go up and move up in stakes (stronger opponents) as you improve. It's the competition, the challenge and the constant drive for improvement that keeps me playing.

depends what mood im in

90% of the time the motivation is money money money

the rest of the time it's lets annoy everyone by playing like a complete tool and see how many I can wind up

Most of the people do it for money! If they say they do it for fun.. It might be also right, but the biggest motivation is of course the money and winning.

A good motivation in playing poker, well I guess you need to have the eagerness to win and at the same time have fun.

 

[cruisinman]

I love the thrill of winning. The excitement - woo - is cool . . .

The thrill that I feel right after ending a session up big (5-10 buy-ins). Its just this awesome feeling of accomplishment.
