Hello CardsChat players. I hope you had an amazing Christmas with your families and friends, have a great week everyone!
I believe poker is a job. It requires a lot of study at a professional level, it is a full-time job, it also requires effort, dedication like any study career.
It can also be said that poker is a job with a lot of stress, programming changes, and so on. You have to deal with a lot of things, the head is everything!

In fact, as you said, the hardest part is mental.

Currently I play for recreation. But if I turn professional, I need to approach it like a job.

ToNy70929 · Dec 29, 2022

For me personally, playing poker is a hobby, a hope to earn money in my free time. In order to make good money all the time, you need good money investments in order to be competitive by participating in big tournaments and having a chance to get to big prizes faster. With lower buys, getting to the prizes is always more difficult.

For pros it's a job.
for 98% its no more than some additional income .....at best

And what prevents this majority from becoming a professional poker player who complains here that poker is an expensive and very nervous activity?... This is a rhetorical question, by the way

Lipki3 · Dec 31, 2022

For myself, I decided that poker is a hobby. But in my circle of acquaintances there are people whose main income is poker

ramdon p358 · Dec 31, 2022

If I consider it a job and I dare say that it is more complicated than a common job because you do not have a fixed salary and you can even have months of loss

Of course it's a job and for some it's a hell better one than most other jobs, which are boring and give no purpose in life. If I didn't consider it a job I wouldn't play it. Part-time, sure but I work harder at it because the potential is significant. Besides, I'm not a gambler and I have plenty of hobbies.

I think poker is a money making game that is work.

vnnby · Jan 1, 2023

Poker is a job where you work for yourself, and it takes a lot of time to be competitive)

NSX_Amfe2nat · Jan 3, 2023

I don't consider it a job, just as a good extra income

infonazar · Jan 3, 2023

For me, poker is just a hobby. Although I receive a regular income from the game, I do not consider poker a job. First of all, for me, poker is entertainment.

romerim · Jan 4, 2023

For me, at the moment, it's my only source of income, so yes, I consider it a job.

Alex Sentsov · Jan 4, 2023

If poker brings in more income than the main job? Then yes, poker is a job)))

German629 · Jan 4, 2023

Hello, Everybody! By my opinion, what the difference: we are considering Poker, as Job or not?!. Main, I think, we are getting a pleasure
from Poker or not... If this is Yes, then all is OK! If it's not, then better to find a new favorite case, I think... Some thing like that!
And Everyone with New 2023 Year!

Atararo14 · Jan 4, 2023

Yes it's work and it requires a lot of effort, learning and discipline.

steve01991 · Jan 4, 2023

when poker becomes a job is the day i quit playing. For me, its fun and keeps me entertained!

houcineben10 · Jan 4, 2023

Hi, it sure can be a full time job, a lot of people do it. To have it as a job u need to have a lot of background, a lot of knowledges like bankroll management good game strategy and a lot of experience. If u have all of these qualities I think u can make the poker as a job and try your luck.

Leomil · Jan 4, 2023

What is professional? It can be said for any work that is proftable. Is an artist professional? If the art cant result in $$$, I dont believe it is a profession, but a hobby or a skill. Poker is like that, depends of your porpouse with it, and mainly, your results!

badbanking79 · Jan 4, 2023

More like a very time consuming hobby

Dmitriy_rus7 · Jan 4, 2023

For me, poker is more of a hobby and entertainment.

Snake2007 · Jan 4, 2023

I don't consider poker a job, maybe for those who have millions of dollars in their account and can afford to play for large amounts, but for me poker is a pleasure, a hobby.

MAGICUZ · Jan 4, 2023

Very few people make money on poker, in general, most players play in the red.I think if a person does not succeed, then it is better to turn this business into a hobby and go to work for a normal job and receive a stable salary.

COMIRRR · Jan 5, 2023

For some it is a second job because it brings them extra income, for the rest it is anything else

olejean · Jan 5, 2023

"Job" is considered as a socially useful activity. In general, poker does not bring any benefit to society. Therefore, it is a pleasure that can bring the profit.

dreamer13 · Jan 5, 2023

But don't be under any illusions, being a professional poker player is hard work that comes with risks, pressures and stress. But for those who develop themselves as a player, it gives more opportunities than the standard life path of the “kindergarten-school-university-work-retirement-death” scheme. Poker allows you to escape from this gray reality with dull everyday life at the office and one vacation a year. The exception is people to whom their work brings joy and pleasure, but in modern realities this is a very small% of people.At the same time, one of the key points for professional poker players is to gain distance. Everyday many hours of grinding, where you press the same buttons, has broken many. For some of the professional players, poker remains a dream job, while for others it is perceived solely as hard labor and a tedious routine.
