Re: What motivates you?
I got a small sponsor deal starting in november. So for me the live tournaments are something to look forward... having that kind of fun thing waiting you it's easier to do the booring job.

Re: What motivates you?
Are you asking because you are curious about other 2+2'ers motivation, or because you are seeking motivation yourself? I am guessing the latter.
The catch all answer to this question is responsibilities. You are young with no real responsibilities, right? Get some, and they will motivate you. Money itself, for most people, is not a real motivator. It's what you need the money for that counts. Some have a mortgage and other bills. Some have a wife. Some have kids. Some are getting older and feel a responsibility to enjoy life as much as possible before they die. What motivates us to fulfill our responsibilities? Fear. Fear of what bad things will happen if we do not. This is drummed into us from a very early age.

Extreme boredom. I wake up everyday and don't know what to do, but worse, there's nothing I want to do. Everything is boring. Play poker is easy and the computer is just steps from my bed, and it allows me to exist. -Michael [/ QUOTE ] I click, therefore I am?

I'll probably have kids within 5 years. I am motivated by money and the security it will bring me. I am also better than 99% of HUSHers at putting in long hours at the table each month. It's funny to me that college kids/full time pros that are young with more time than I spend MUCH less time playing. I think Tim hits the nail on the head when he says they don't have as much to play for. Krishan

Re: What motivates you?
For me, it's not the actual money, it's the ability to make a living without working.
My childhood dream was to not work. Seriously. When I was a kid and people asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up, I never had an answer, becuase the thought of having a job made me very depressed. I'd rather live in a unabomber shack in the middle of the forest than be a slave to the man. I loved golf and tried to get good enough to turn pro, but I just wasn't good enough. I had to find another way to make a living without working. That's when I discovered poker. I honestly have no idea what I'd do if the games dried up and became unprofitable, but I doubt that will ever happen.
