competition....I am too old and small to effectively compete athletically, but I can still compete with my backside in a comfy chair.

I play poker because it's a fascinating game that plays with the mind and the guts of the player, plus skill and money of course.

It's a fun and serious way to play some cards in an online environment. The money is a nice bonus considering my bankroll is all from a freeroll cash :D

Apart from a game of cards I also see it as the ultimate puzzle game!

I play poker for the enjoyment. I like to play with friends and also like online poker. I think it is challenging to try and play the best I can.

First of all, I play to win, but at the same time poker is a lot of emotions, meetings and communication, in general I love this game!)))

I'm not interested in playing poker if there's nothing at stake, not even a small amount. For me, it's mostly about the thrill of competing for the prize money and the challenge of outplaying others to claim the chips.

Apart from the allure of money, poker attracts players for its competitive edge, social engagement, and intellectual challenge. It's a platform where camaraderie meets strategy, fostering connections and banter. The thrill of making bold moves and outsmarting opponents adds to the excitement, creating an adrenaline rush. Moreover, poker offers flexibility, accessible anytime, anywhere, allowing players to indulge according to their schedules. It's not just a game but a path to personal growth, teaching skills like discipline, risk management, and decision-making under pressure. Ultimately, poker offers a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment, contributing to its enduring popularity.

I've been playing poker since I was taught and I'm passionate about it, I like the adrenaline it generates. It also helped me to be more patient and inclusive in my life.

When I used to play poker I didn't even know you could play for money. I just played because I loved the game now that I've been playing poker for many years, I only want to play poker to make money, so now I only play to make money in poker, so I wouldn't play poker now if there were no cash rewards

Unquestionably it's all about outwitting the other players. There's something special about being noted by other players as a week player only to send them to the rails then staying out of enough hands to let someone else try to bully you.

Probably nothing forces you to play poker, everyone has free time, everyone spends it differently, but we guide him at the poker tables, we just love this game.

I really don't know anymore. Maybe it's time to quit (as I have done several times already).

I play because it's a very competitive, comprehensive, and complex game. It's fun, and there's always something to improve. If it were simpler, it would probably seem repetitive to me, but clearly, that's not the case.

In addition to money, I've always enjoyed playing cards to pass the time!
