Hello everyone, poker is a hobby for me, I love this game, but is poker a hobby for you or more of a way to earn money? Is it possible for you to make a stable income?:):)

For me it is still ab hobby, too :) I made a small amount of money but I am still far away from calling this a stable income. But I hope to change this one day :)

For me now, the main income, though, I play micro-limits and so far everything is going well for me.

Very few people will make a living from poker, i most certainly don't look at the game as making a living. It really is just a hobby for me.

100% hobby, but with hopes that it might make a small side income someday. I'm not sure if it will happen (time to put in volume etc.), but I'm confident in my ability to work on whatever I set my mind to :)

I'm currently using cardschat freerolls to build up a bankroll from scratch; it has been going well so far, but there is a big difference from freerolls to "money games" even if just micro-stakes ;)

I am sure that playing poker is possible to earn a stable income. For me, poker is also a hobby but I'm sure that in time my hobby will start to bring me a steady income.

For me, poker at the moment is an additional income, but everything can change.

Despite being a hobby in my case too, yes, I believe there are people who live off poker

A simple little hobby, a game, I handle it that way.
A couple of people are sure to make a living from it, congratulations to them, they know the random number generator for sure, because it is now possible to run into hands at poker tables online that is a scandal.
I notice that online poker sites look people stupid and milking well us.
I may have some kind of TAG at Pokerstars because I still make it to good results the freeroll, but I just can't play in cash tournaments (it doesn't matter how I play tight, loose, aggressive ... etc) without falling out of before the big money in tournaments.
Joke..
I know it doesn't belong here, but I thought I'd write it out myself ... and now it's a better feeling. :)
Good luck all.

It's just a hobby. I can't make money playing poker on a regular basis. But I would like to.

Today, poker adds a lot to my income, but I still treat it as a lucrative hobby, we can put it that way. I still have a formal job, but poker is definitely the apple of my eye as the growth potential is better and more EV than my career with formal work. Maybe I'm a little afraid to take the next step out of the hobby thesis, who knows, maybe one day I'll get that title.

It is a little of both. Nice to play something you enjoy and can be rewarded monetarily for your efforts.

I see poker as both things, for me is a hobby that offers the possibility of winning some extra income every month. I'm far from winning what I want to, but it's always nice to have some unexpected extra money.

For me poker is a hobby, and it is a hobby that I love very much, but at the same time I certainly hope to win some day a large and significant amount of money
:D

I would say that if it is a hobby for me, the truth is that I could not earn money playing here. But what do you call earning money?
