how long do u plan on playing?

[Zybomb]

See, while I play for the $ (obviously) I also play because I really enjoy the game.

Up at school, when the majority of my play was online (due to the lack of underground clubs in ohio -- or at least to my lack of knowledge of them, and lack of casinos) when people I knew were gettin together to get a 'poker tournament' goin, I'd always be in if I wasn't doing anything. Often these would be $10 buy ins with 7 ppl. So 60 (50 net) goin to first and money back goin to second. I'd always play though because its fun.

I would like to continue to improve my poker game, and build my bankroll up... something which has been a problem for me (well not so much building my bankroll up, but the fact that I never have had an official bankroll, just the amount of money I have...and that fluctuates when takin into consideration bills etc which come out of my 'bankroll'...) I'd like to have a comfortable bankroll and continue to build it up.

As far as when I'll stop playing. When poker is both unprofitable and not fun anymore -- and I don't see that coming anytime soon if ever

Although poker sometimes is simply not fun and the grind takes over the joy of playing, I don't really see if I could ever stop playing. This is not to say that I will continue to play 20,000+ hands every month from now till my death, but I'm sure that I will play it on a somewhat regular basis because I still do enjoy the game and I'm fairly certain that I will always enjoy it.
