Motives and Reasons for Playing Poker

[jasonv12]

Just because I'm curious, how many of you guys are actually looking to work to improve your play and become better players with work attached? Or are you guys just playing for fun? Or is it both and you just learn along the way? Or what other motives do you have for playing? Are you actually interested in the money? Do you not care about the money? Some individual responses could be interesting.

I play for amusement. But I've researched the game a bit. B4 black Friday I used to do the training classes on full tilt.

Does a coach actually help you very much?

First of all,,,, I love the game,,,,I love the competion...and I make a few bucks... I'm old (67) and am at home all the time by myself. So I play everyday 8 to 10 hours a day everyday just about. usually clear $100 to $150 a month. Not much for time invested but it's fun (most of the time, LOL) and passes the time. . Started playing online in 2005.
