Why are we playing poker?

[Northern]

Maybe I'm different than most but I play for a variety of reasons and the money is far from the top.

I play online due to boredom as I would rather play a few hundred hands then watch an episode on TV.

I enjoy how the game is simple to play but takes a skill to be good at.

It's a past time that my buddies from high school get together on a night and catch up.

Lastly my stakes are micro so the money is good but not life changing. I normally pay for a trip every year or something similar but I dont make enough to subsidize my income.
