Default Re: What motivates you?

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?

Cause I'm [censored] greedy! This is one of the few jobs in the world where your product is money, not some gadget that you later sell for money. Seeing the money roll in, particularly after a big positive session, is all the motivation I need to keep on playing.

This is what distinguishes this job from just about any other one. Even in my poker coaching side business -- which is still about poker -- the motivation goes beyond just making more money. It's only in poker itself that the motivation is all about money.
