For me, poker is somewhere in the middle between a hobby and a profession.:)

Poker is a hobby. I play for fun. I also spend the money I win on entertainment. In general, I like to have fun professionally :)

I have been playing for several years, but poker is still a hobby for me, even though I often win more in poker each month than I earn at work.

more like a hobby, it’s difficult to decide on such a job, but the small income from poker is also normal, and the feeling of a big win gives poker a positive feeling

Poker was always just a hobby, but I take it a bit more seriously after discovering CC sponsored free-rolls.

I enjoy it as a hobby. I think it would be too stressful to be a profession.

For me it's just hanging out for a while. I don't take it that seriously

Definitely a hobby. If I win a million, maybe I will be able to play in larger tournaments for a year, then I can think about playing professionally.

Poker is a hobby for me. Of course, I would like poker to become my profession, but it is too difficult for me. So I just play for my own pleasure :)

Just a hobby. A challenging hobby.

Probably many people want poker to be their profession, including me. But at the moment poker is a hobby for me, maybe something will change in the future.

I'm halfway between the two options, I'm not yet profitable to the point of being a professional, but I'd really like to.

Hello friends. What is poker for you? A hobby or a profession?
It has to be a hobby for me. Although I play a lot, I don't make enough for it to be a profession.

Only a hobby. Just for fun, I would stress to much and not enjoy it if it was high stakes and important.

I think this is personal. If choose to play as professional we’ll need to study and dedicate more than you expect. And you play as hobby you don’t need to dedicate to much and have more flexibility to play.

Currently it is a hobby, but my goal is to turn it into a profession, with study, discipline, strategy and a lot of effort.

I always played poker as a hobby and never thought about becoming a professional.

Hello, for now I play it as a hobby, but that is what I want to be a professional player and to be able to make a living from what I like most, which is playing poker.

With me it's a hobby I enjoy (and can afford). Never crossed my mind to make it a full time profession as I could not commit the time needed.
