We want to know from you, what keeps you driven to play poker.

Do you need to play in order to pay your bills or do you want to become the next WSOP / WPT / EPT champion?

I think I would like to be able to vote 3 of the options.

At the moment I am playing for fun.
I would like to get to a high enough level to start paying the bills.
Ultimately I would love to become a pro.

cus my parents tell me to


Originally I want to learn poker so hard and so good that I can become pretty pro at this game in case making it my lifestyle.

In second, I want to build my bankroll and play so, that I could take off some money each month from my poker account and still go up every month along. Might be pretty hard as it seems as beginner, maybe after 5-10 years I will get there.


I want to learn and play poker, ´cause I will get money with the gamble.

For fun, though the Mrs doesn't see it that way funily enough. Also trying to up the status on here to silver. Would love to pay some bills obviously but immediate goal is silver rank.

I want to become a pirate


Well I suppose the reason I got into poker was because I enjoyed it and still do.

ATM is for fun / hobby.

Although I would love to do it for a living, even if it just meant getting by.
I would love to be my own boss and do my own hours.

Sick of going to work to make other people money. "away from here" by the enemy springs to mind.

For fun, but while in school it paid the bills.

Dad: You have 1 mirrion yet?
Son: No dad, i'm playing NL10
Dad: Talk to me when you have 1 mirrion


currently for fun, as I love my main job and it is well paid. however, in the future, hoping to make poker a source of small additional income, mainly for online payments.
