Quote Kosh="Kosh"There's a difference between money not being the primary motivator and it not being a motivator at all. Everyone needs to earn a living after all.
Different people have different motivations. Not everyone is driven by the need to earn as much cash as possible once they are comfortably off. There's no doubt that paying winning money might motivate some players, but for others it might be something less tangible that drives them.'"
And as mentioned if only 2-3 players up the ante so would the rest, it's a natural progression.
If the players around you become more motivated it has that knock on effect.
