if there was no money involved would you still play poker online?

[Ungoliant]

I would play, but probably <5% of the hands I play now. Also, if that were the case, I would play tournaments exclusively; ring games would be boring as hell if there was no money involved.

If it was for purely entertainment value, I would much rather be killing people playing Medal of Honor online.

[MicroBob]

I can just imagine the picture of metetron or schneids or others playing 10+ tables of play-money 6-max.

Pokers just one of those games that loses the majority of it's entertainment value when nothing is at stake.

[BradleyT]

Only if I could continue tweaking my game by playing against money800 at PokerStars.net.

[Wongboy]

Without the money incentive, I would spend my time doing something that I enjoy

Same with me, mostly lightining 1+0 though. I uswed to be sooo addicted. ICC rating 2200, Blitz like 1950. Patzer with strong premoves. But I'd be nowhere near these days.

Is this a joke? That's like asking if people like going to work for the social aspect instead of the check every week.

Unless you play for fun, that changes everything.

I might play with friends or play just to practice.

Some people ACTUALLY LIKE what they do for a living. Imagine that.

Maybe if you weren't such a materialistic whore, you'd get a job you liked because you enjoy doing it, not for the amount you get paid.


Anyways, yes I would still play poker if there was no $$ involved.
