Default Why are you playing?

Why are you playing poker, recently in diablo's forum i read a thread asking, 'what would you do if money wasnt a problem'

Many pple said all kinds of stuff, but few really mentioned anything about poker. Well i would prolly play the highest cash games if i had enough money, because i love the game.

But the question is, do you play for money, or play because you like the game? I see some pple grinding out 200NL 12 tables lifetime, and i dont think they play cos they really like it (I would get really bored after a while). I see other players playing a -ev 50/20 style, but theyr actually a little bit decent post flop, and they clearly play because they enjoy the game.

well im curious so i made a poll :P . Excuse my bad english, since i have a limited vocabulary.

I got into it to try something different. Then I realized I can make money. These days, it's more money than entertainment.

Entertainment I suppose, I love playing but of course I like to make money as well. I don't cash out too often and have never actually purchased anything with my winnings so I like the challenge of growing my BR and winning tournaments.
