Study Notes
- The text discusses three main sources of poker motivation: money/wealth creation, glory/score chasing, and passion/love for the game.
- Money/wealth creation motivation involves maximizing EV, lowering variance, and building a bankroll to invest in other income-generating opportunities.
- Historically, players motivated by money have leaned towards playing cash games, but this has become complicated due to the drying up of online games and the political nature of accessing private live games.
- Tournaments have become a more viable option for money-motivated players, but they come with greater variance and tax consequences.
- Glory/score chasing motivation involves pursuing accolades and rankings in the poker world, such as winning bracelets or being ranked on leaderboards.
- Passion/love for the game motivation involves simply enjoying the game of poker and the process of playing and learning.
- All three sources of motivation can be present simultaneously in players.
- The text acknowledges that these three sources do not cover all possible motivations for playing poker.
- The pros and cons of each source of motivation are discussed.
- The text emphasizes the importance of balancing these motivations and being mindful of their potential drawbacks.
