Poker is a hobby for me. But it's a hobby with the potential to become a profession in the future. If I can make a living exclusively from poker, it will cease to be a hobby and become my profession.

Poker was a lifestyle for 10+ years, because I made a living from it, now it's just a hobby, although it could be a little more than that.

At the moment as a hobby, but whenever I can I'm playing and in the future I intend to dedicate most of my time to poker.

For me, poker is a hobby. Lifestyle, for me, is a rather vague concept. I'm already a pensioner, I have health problems, and in fact, my whole lifestyle is reduced to taking my medication on time :)

Thank you for sharing that — I really respect your honesty.
It's great that poker brings you some enjoyment and keeps your mind active. Sometimes, even small hobbies like this can be a bright spot in our daily routine. Wishing you good health and many lucky hands at the tables! 😊

Poker’s my side hustle - fun when it’s soft, painful when it’s not.

Haha, I totally get you! When the tables are soft, it feels like a dream… but when they’re tough, it’s like paying tuition at the school of poker pain 😅
Turning a hobby into a side hustle — that’s one step closer to a lifestyle!

Like most of us, poker is a hobby for me. Of course, I would like to be a professional player, but that requires a lot of time, which I don't have. For me, poker is a hobby and I play for fun.

I see poker as a hobby, but it’s one of the best hobbies anyone can have. It challenges the mind and offers a lot of fun.

I play daily but I count it as a hobby for me. I haven't let it become my life.
