It depends on your goal.
I like playing poker with some music and chill out.
Then it is a hobby for me.

However, I have also the goal to gain money with it to invest in some goals I have to make the world a better place. When I get close to the money, it starts becoming a job. But most of the time I look at it as a hobby as I realize that I probably never will be winning that giant pots.

Just a hobby for me. My luck isn't good enough for it to be a job. If I had better luck, I would have been rich and retired a long time ago

I think that poker starts as a hobby and then you get passionate about it. After the passion takes over some turns it into a job to make money.

a passion that can be becoming a job. on the contrary, I believe that skill is more important than luck

For me, poker is a hobby because I spend my free time playing it, but it is also a passion because I feel I have become very infected with poker.

OBsession. I am for ever trying to figure it out like a puzzle, with pieces missing LOL
BRM being the biggest and most important piece I find it, then lose it, regularly

I think poker is a passionate game that depends on luck and does not depend only on skill.


I consider a hobby.
If I ever have the chance to play professionally, then I will have it as a job, and I love it!

Hi guys, poker for me started as a hobby, with an interest in learning, I bought a book and started looking for content on the internet with an interest in learning.
Today I want to become a lucrative hobby and maybe become a professional gamer in the future.
I love this game.:top:

It's my one and only hobby at the moment.. Coronavirus is keeping me from my job. I'm passionate about money.

I would classify Poker as a hobby for me right now, there's way to much going on in my life right to dedicate to much of my time to playing.

well, for some it can be a hobby. especially if you have a lot of money. and you play so-so and you are not often lucky. but if you succeed and you get into money. then this hobby turns into work .. where useful combined with pleasant:icon_puke
