its definitely a hobby right now. But who knows how it changes over time
 
I want this to be my job.
Best reading material for this to happen?
 
There is too much competition in poker to make it a profession. So for now, it's a hobby. Perhaps in a couple of years it will be possible to succeed in this.
 
In my case it is a hobby, not least because I only play freerolls or microlimits, there is no way to profit that much.
 
hobby

being a pro takes a lot of time and money even good pros have losing streak and the good ones are smart with money and numbers I bet most if them don't even use their own money
 
Neither. It is a game/entertainment.
Some people play card games or puzzles or xbox or PS.
I play poker online or with friends whenever possible.
 
Is entertement for me and i play poker with love,like a hobbie is stressful especially if you invest money expectations arise
 
Hobby or passion for sure for me. I play for fun. Money makes it more fun. Winning is the funnest.
 
Job

I don’t spend money as a hobby when I know there’s a chance I could make more of it if I’m good enough.......I’m a go with job!
 
It's my jobby! I'm retired and living off a pension and I play poker to keep busy. I treat it like a job, even though I just make chump change.

poker can be a hobby for some and a profession for many, after all it deals with money, i my self would love to be able to play on the level where i could make it a source of income😀
 
Hobby vs. Job

It is a hobby for me, as a job playing poker minimum 50 hour work week. In anything in life that you want to be good at you must put in the time period. All these pros practice an insane amount of hours so if you want poker as a source of income get ready for some overtime Capo1014
 
Even though I have been playing for many years now, I still think of it as just a hobby. That brings some extra money from time to time🙂🙂 there was a time back in the day where it started to feel a little bit like a job, only because I was playing so much of the time. I had to take a big break, and now I only play once in a while and it feels more fun again🙂🙂
 
Currently i see it as a hobby but i would like to turn it into a full time job.
 
Always will be a fun Hobby for me I do not think I am good enough to do it as a full-time job, and Happy for it too stay that way.

When the fun Stops, STOP!
 
When my monthly income from poker exceeds the income from work three times then I will say that this is a job, while it is a hobby:angel:😀
 
Hobby

For me poker is a hobby if you can call it that as I play online for entertainment period. Like playing at cash tables as seems to be less "Bingo" players there. Yes I know there is always that one player that pushes but by keeping good player notes makes it easier to take their money when I know I have the winning hand. I just let then keeping betting until the river and then push all in .

GL ALL 😀
 
If it were a job, I'd be broke for a long time. Obviously it is a hobby, but I try to improve so that I can have more fun😎😎
 
I want to be a professional poker player but I'm not a rich person. I have to earn some money for my daily life. So it became a hobby.
 
Hobby only .. I am retired and live comfortably .. don't really need to earn money via poker.

I see it as a job, because winning at poker gives me more money than my work salary. But how wonderful it would be to have work and have fun at the same time, as you do with your hobby.🙄
 
I love poker as a hobby, but sometimes there is a big cash and u have something like a mini job 😉
