Never thought this would be the case....

I'm very competitive. I was raised on sports, and I work in a sports related field. I'll try to kick your ass in anything, just to kick your ass. But for me, it's about the money in poker. I mean, don't get me wrong, I take pride in my game.

I am always studying, self-evaluating, and trying to get help from others. But, the motivation to do all these things at first was to make money. And if all of a sudden we were playing for fun, or points just to have bragging rights or something, I wouldn't be studying and most likely I wouldn't play.

However, I do agree, that if I lose because I'm outplayed, it bothers me a little more than just getting sucked out.
