Hobby or profession?

serj537 · Jan 21, 2024

I love playing poker. But I never thought about turning a game into a job. Definitely a hobby.

troma · Jan 21, 2024

It's a hobby for me.

CataRouillet · Jan 21, 2024

I would like it to be a profession and I try to take it as that

Liedust · Jan 21, 2024

Hi, how are you? I play as a hobby and for fun. Greetings and good hands.

ztibor72 · Jan 21, 2024

It's been just a hobby for a few years now.
Before that, I lived on this for many years, but it was just enough.
I think I switched in time.

Nowadays is a hobby.

When you start playing professionally, poker stops being a game and becomes a livelihood. Amateurs may have trouble playing in the downswing, but after a session they leave poker behind and return to everyday life.It would be naive to think that the game will bring you as much pleasure when it turns from a hobby into a daily job. People lose interest in anything they do for too long; poker is no exception. Over time, you will lose interest in poker and your desire to play will become weaker. It won’t disappear completely, but at some points the game will feel more like a chore than a favorite pastime.

For me its a hobby, its pretty darn tough to make it a profession. I think making poker you main source of money is a bit foolish, because making gamble the main source of your income is never a good option no matter what.

It's hobby for me but i hope it will become profession in the future.

On-line it will always be a Hobby, I don't relish the Idea of a huge buy-in going down the drain when the Internet goes down.
Live Games, I used to treat more seriously but since the Lockdowns I play a lot less frequently than I used to, but I would never consider Poker as a Profession for me personally, Too much travelling involved.

Stringy · Jan 22, 2024

Gallarado777 · Jan 22, 2024

poker is a profession now almost 40% I used to play poker just to enjoy the game right now I play to make money when I can make big money I'll switch to poker completely this day has not come so I'm still striving for it

rufininha14 · Jan 22, 2024

For now, it's just a hobby, but if I continue with the results I'm getting, who knows, one day it could become a profession for me.

GNuTTz · Jan 22, 2024

Poker is definitely just a hobby. Maybe one day if I’m lucky enough, I can win a big tournament and transition into playing semi pro.

you should keep playing as a hobby so you don't tilt!

For me poker is both, love it and money making.

Hobby.

rachelle2291 · Jan 23, 2024

For me it is a hobby but I have to make at least a little bit of money at it or I will do something else with my time. There have been some recent changes that make it less likely for a freeroller to make anything so my poker playing days might come to an end soon. About 8 years ago I quit online backgammon when most of the sites shut down and there was no money to be made.

Hobby

Hobby for now..

MF.Brn · Feb 2, 2024

Hobby, but seeks to earn money with it, not enough to live on it, but enough to raise good money.

Inabit · Feb 2, 2024

It's a hobby I enjoy. Don't think I could ever do it as a profession, it's one a the few jobs where you can lose money. Playing for fun and trying to earn a little bit of extra cash on the side is enough for me.

Poker is a hobby for me. Unfortunately, I will not be able to become a professional, I lack patience and discipline, but as a hobby poker suits me perfectly, brings me joy and satisfaction
