What motivates you?

I won't put limitations on how you want to perceive the question except that it has to deal with poker.

thats the thing, if I can have all the rest, I'd be happy with $10/hour. It was never really about the money.

I HATE MY OPPONENTS AND I WANT TO CRUSH THEM!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!

Nah, money and the thrill of winning. Tournaments are how I fell in love with poker. There's a goal: to win. I like that.

It's the only game I know where how much money you make is directly related to your skill, which I think is pretty cool. Mostly I do it for the intellectual challenge.

These are exactly my feelings.

I hated getting jobs as a teenager because I could only get kid jobs, even though I knew that I could do work that many college-educated people did.

You usually don't get paid based on how good you are at your job, but in poker, with some variance, you do.

There are alot of games like that, i.e. any sport. Though, poker is still cool in that way.

I play mostly for the money, I guess. Plus it's something to do when I'm bored; a hobby, if you will.
