[B]Is poker a passion?[/B]
For most... and for others it's about recognition, fame an $$$.
[B]Is poker a hobby?[/B]
...delicate matter, and it is my opinion there is another name for "hobby" (when it comes to poker), but i'm not the one to judge. For me, it created an addiction in some mild form.

[B]...almost wrong[/B]

[B]definitely wrong.[/B]
It does depend on luck, but playing on a luck basis is the mother of all fukups in poker. It can only get you so far... And if you're lucky once or twice in a row... u make it a style, and in the long run, it's disatrous. The skills involved in poker, don't really have anything to do with a predetermined rulebook, or a science you can learn and master. It's mostly knowing when to fold, and getting the read on your opponent(s), by using equity %'s, odds, previous play etc... The more you play, the more you will see certain patterns having effect in your game... though not always. You could call it skill, but it's way harder to master than others, precisely because luck is involved. Like any equation, you can't calculate a precise result, if one of your "unknowns" is a variable. You can at most, calculate a reduced number of possible outcomes.
