 What's the magic? What keeps you coming back to poker? The poll was going to be multiple choice, but I want you to really think about what's the main thing that keeps you coming back.

| Hmm, tough one... Out of those options, if only one can be chosen, I'd say the money involved. I like money. Money is good. And I've been fortunate enough to make decent cash from poker, so it's gotta be that, because without the money involved, I wouldn't play much. Play money tables just don't attract me. Second choice would've been the challenge/fun of the game.

| I said the fun of the game because I had to choose only one, but I also like the money aspect. The challenge of the game is also a good one because I do enjoy that as well-there continues to be new people and different playing styles, so I have to continue to learn and get better as well. And I also enjoy playing live with friends also, usually once a week when I'm down at school. |

| For me, it's the game itself... and the strategy and the way you need to constantly be waging war against the rest of the table. So I put the challenge. I can play for money little or large amounts... I've played for less than $5 in pennies and had a great time. I can just play for chips or something trivial. I just love to play and beating the other players is more important than what is at stake. Not that I am ahead after every session... but over time, I want to be ahead enough to know that I am consistently beating the people I play with.

| rakeback of course!!!! Definitely playing for money too. I'm not a high roller by any means but play money tables don't appeal to me and I can't justify spending several hours playing a freeroll just to win a dollar or two or maybe 50 bucks or so if I get really lucky. I only have a limited amount of time that I can play every week and I try to make the most of it.

| I had to go with fun of the game. I spent as much time playing with play chips as I do playing for cash. Now that I have a BR I very rarely do the play money tables, but still do occasionally. |
