Re: What motivates you?
 

Yours was the only reply i thought none pointless. Everyone saying just money (no [censored]?) seemed pointless. I bet everyone who replied would have enough money to live off either from their job or by playing less hours, so why the motivation for extra enough to put more hours in?

They probably would so the answer is "more money" = greed.

So having a big savings account is greedy?

Re: What motivates you?
 

Ok honest question, honest anwswer. I hated working for the man. I love the fact that I have complete freedom 24 hours a day to do what I want. If I want to go golfing one day I do, if I want to travel I do. The freedom alone is worth it. And some day down the road when I have a family I know that I will have money set aside from a game that I love.

Short term motivation.

I love the thrill of winning tournaments. Its like golf to me you can never be the best even though we all strive for perfection.

And like all of the prior posts the financial part is a bonus because it trully opens up doors for other avenues of our lives, I know there are to many things I want to do in my life that I couldn't probably write it down in a day... Ok I'm out.

To secure financial security for my future family.

A desire to be the best I can be at something.

Ninety percent of the population is complete morons. Morons should not be allowed to have too much money.

Morons with too much money are attracted to poker. Without a competent player at the table, the morons will just push their money around. Eventually the house will get it all in rake. I play poker to take money from morons faster than the casino takes rake.

Of course, if I ever make enough money, I'll buy a stake in a casino.
