It's really hard to separate the two.

Raise with AQ, get called by Q9, flop KJT, bet 3 streets and rake it in. Yes that's fun.

But there is another level to the game where you identify the tendencies of your opponent, and manipulate your betting pattern to exploit them for the most money possible. So maybe instead of bet/bet/bet, you bet/check-raise/lead small and shove over. Figuring that out is work? Cause I think that's fun too.
