But money is never enough, no matter how much you win

I would tend to disagree with this one. While winning a lot of cash is nice, I play for the joy of playing. If I win the tournament no mater how much its for I am happy.

Pre-start fever and post-game depression are common emotional responses in poker. The anticipation before a game, especially with few wins, fuels excitement, anxiety, and tension. This adrenaline can push you to perform better, but once a significant win occurs, the high of victory can quickly fade, leaving you feeling empty or unfulfilled. This post-game depression stems from unmet expectations, as the emotional high of the win often doesn’t match the aftermath. To balance these emotions, it’s crucial to maintain perspective, focus on the process, and avoid tying your self-worth to wins or losses.

Other than bankroll management, I've never really cared about poker for money. It's all a side investment I'll likely never withdraw.

There is never enough money unless you have over $5 million with that amount you will earn about 300,000 thousand per year so you can live comfortably on that amount

Sir that îs because you are greedy 🤪 as long you are în profit you should be please, because there way to many players that they are în the losing side

The more money you make playing poker the more money you want to make in the future playing poker, simple ambition

Maybe the limit would be to become the most winning player; at that point, there wouldn't be anything more to aspire to, and I would feel fulfilled anyway.

As long as there are not many wins, there is always pre-start fever, but when there is a big win, sometimes post-game depression sets in.

Victories at the beginning of your poker journey can overshadow the difficulties that will arise throughout your career... mainly knowing how to manage the down swing can determine whether you want to continue learning or go into depression and stop playing.

I think playing is somewhat like a relationship.
And you might be thinking, what is this fool talking about? What I mean is that if you're not satisfied or happy with your life/routine, it's better not to get involved. This ties into the "depression" and dissatisfaction part.
As for winning and losing, I believe losing always carries more weight than winning, in almost all areas. People tend to remember negative experiences more. There’s not much you can do other than take it as an opportunity to improve.
Obviously, all of this is just an opinion.

This topic is what separates the good vs bad players in my opinion! There is def a direct correlation between greed and success. The more you can manage your bankroll the better you can do in the long run. I feel from my experience I’m a bad gambler in general because I go on tilt way too much because my greediness and impatience set in ! Wish I could control it but I can’t….. I suck

You can, lol. That's why you came here to learn. Playing freerolls makes it easier to control tilt because you don't lose any money.
practice not giving a crap when you lose and just move on to another one or something different.
if you play any of ours then fill in your profile with anything you want to share including your poker site user names
so we know when we see you at the tables online poker is rough and you can't tilt and be a winning player so that's your first move
if you want success just my opinion

I have actually never won more than $300. Could you please tell me what amount of winnings triggers post-winning depression?
When I won $300, I felt nothing but joy
