Its about the high that you get when you know you bluffed someone out of a big pot, or when you hit the nuts and trap your opponent. "The Rush"

If you want to play poker but don't want to lay out your hard earned money, play the practice games to death, watching out for the 1st hand all-ins ... quite often the player doesn't even look at their cards and hopes the flop, turn and river cards are kind to them. I usually pass the 1st, and sometimes the 2nd hands, before playing unless I have a strong AA or AK. There are also many freerolls in the money games section, usually $50 prize pots, which allow new players to test themselves against other players without any financial loss but in the arena of real winnings if you can last out to the final couple of tables. These winnings can then be used in low buy-in tournaments ... if you win - alls good, if you don't - nothing lost. Plus, there's less all-in merchants in these money games!

Another thing to remember, the best hand pre-flop doesn't always win. The number of times I've had Qs, Ks or As and failed miserably! It's a case of 'He who dares (Rodney)' and wether you have the confidence of your hand standing up against the other possible hands taking the community cards into account, not forgetting the bluff hands!
