Playing For Fun Vs. Playing For Money

[Nomad]

Playing poker, either online or live is fun. However, you can also play poker and win real money. What kind of poker player are you, do you only look for fun element or do you play for money? As far as I am concerned, I play for fun as well as money. When money is involved and as long as there is a possibilities to win money, the fun elements doubles. However, if you are too much concerned about money, you will not have fun, in fact you are under pressure.

If I play poker,.. I’d say I’m mostly in it for the fun. I enjoy the challenge and the social aspect more than the money.

I've made the decision that whenever it comes to doing anything that is going to take my time, I will try as much as possible to monetize it. So, I normally play for money and also fun together.

It depends on the kind of mood i'm in.If I feel like just having a few games with my friends or going to the casino.Then, that's always fun.But if i'm on a heater, then at that point, it's all business for me

The problem I have with only playing for fun is that when I lose money too much, it's going to make me become grumpy. It's why I put making money first, I don't care how little the win is because it gives me motivation to keep on enjoying it.

For me, poker is fun first but the money definitely adds extra excitement. Winning makes the game feel better but if you worry too much about the money, the fun disappears and the pressure takes over. The best spot is enjoying the game while still paying attention to what’s at stake.
