Is money always involved when playing Poker?

Good Morning

I am thinking of learning to play the card game Poker, in order just to socialise with friends etc. However, I seem to get the impression that when placing bets, money is always involved. Can't any games/matches be played without involving money? if not, is playing Bridge a good alternative?

Thanks

We're actually having a poker evening tomorrow. And have had many in the past. Chips will be on the table but no money whatsoever involved. We're all grown up but it's just a games night where poker is the choice. That said, we do games nights several times a year and with different games too so poker is just one of the many things we'd play. Might be different if you don't rotate the games. Get a decent poker chips set so there's easy betting in the game. Make a small prize for the winner if you want. For us, the win is enough to lord it over everyone else, lol.

Some people suggested silly bets and quick games when no money involved. That's not the case for our friends playing.......

Isn't taking your clothes off instead sometimes played as an alternative? ;):eek:
