Just been discussing this with a mate and thought I would throw it on here..

How much money would it take for you to never play poker again?

    Would always play regardless because i enjoy it.  Remember Daniel Negreanu was asked a similar type of question before and with the money he has made he definately doesnt need to play.  He says its not about the money for him anymore as hes made enough to last him and sees it as his version of video games and enjoys the challenge.

    I didnt mean it like that, I meant if you were paid a price under the condition that you never played any form of poker again.

    It would be hard to turn down £500k I think.

    Great question.

    Depends on a lot of things and obviously would be a much bigger figure if you are a pro. For those of us that play recreationally it probably depends on how you are running,

    Difficult to put a price on the online friends  you make through poker though, the Outlaws, the PLO8 crew, Tikay, oh **** make it a fiver and I'm gone.

    I feel like the more pressing issue is which crazy b****** is offering people piles of money to stop playing poker and why doesn't he have better things to spend his money on?
     That's a **** good offer Craig, will have a mull over that and get back to you

    thats not what i mean, i should have worded it better, How much money would someone have to pay you for you to agree to never play poker again.

    Maca, you wouldn't take any amount of money? Even with all the good you could potentially do? You could theoretically eliminate poverty entirely and still have money left over. 

    I don't know what my figure is but there's certainly an amount that I think everyone should take for ethical reasons. tree fiddy most likely

    of course the next question should be where's the money coming from? that would change things. If the answer is the sky then the above applies, and if it's from some rich guy then it depends whether he's given his consent

    +1 to this! There are probably some hobbies that I'd actually struggle to give up more than poker.
