Default Whats your motivation for playing?

I play because I love all the mind games, although I do sometimes feel my only real drive is the money.

What is YOUR reason for playing?

Default Re: Whats your motivation for playing?

I was playing this weekend and after booking a solid win I was still sitting at the table at 4am when I asked myself the same question. I immediately got up and left.

I play to:
-have fun
-meet interesting people
-make money
-use my brain.

As soon as I forget this I stop playing.

I have many reasons but at times they all seem to disappear and its all about money. I feel like this is when I play my worst.

70% Money (and the things money can buy)
20% Ego polishing (ZOMG I OWNZ THE FISHIES!!)
10% Community (all the cool kids on 2+2 do it)

I have none. But when I played I guess I was addicted to Money, my pokerdb stats, Stars FPP-shop and VIP-levels, my sharkscope graph and money (again).

The challenges of moving up in limits, outplaying opponents, always getting better, etc.

Yeah, that whole "money" thing, too.
