Default I realized something the other day...

I do not play poker to win money. Not in the sense that others seem to mean it. Money is simply a way of tracking my progress.

I play poker for the game. For the challenge of besting the other players. For out thinking them and out playing them.

I enjoy watching the table and understanding how each person plays. What they are thinking, why they acted in a given manner. Knowing what they will do and then using it against them.

I don't know what advice I am looking for. It just feels... wrong... to not have money be the reason I play. Maybe it is better said that I don't know why I push myself to be a better player if money is not the reason that I play?
