I have no addiction. For me, poker is just entertainment, nothing more. Poker is a part of my life, but it's not an addiction, it's a regular habit to have a good evening

Me either, a hobby.

Reading through this discussion, I really appreciate how honestly people are describing their relationship with poker. For me, the line between hobby and obsession often depends on what’s going on in life outside the game. When poker becomes the only thing on your mind, that’s when it stops being fun and starts taking a toll. I’ve gone through phases like that myself, where every hand felt too important and I forgot the whole point was enjoyment.
What helped me find balance was mixing poker with other light, low-pressure games. Sometimes I take a break with casual slots—nothing serious, just something to unwind. Recently I tried https://casinoenlineahex.com/tragamonedas-gratis/big-bass-vegas-double-down-deluxe-pragmatic-play/, and it reminded me how relaxing games can be when there’s no pressure to win big or make perfect decisions.
At the end of the day, poker should add joy to your life, not stress. Finding that balance is everything.

Depends who you ask, but here’s the usual: Hobby – you play for fun, don’t stress over results, bankroll not life-changing. Obsession – you think about hands, ranges, spots, even when away from the table; can tilt hard. Addiction – chasing losses, money controls you, can’t stop even when it hurts personal life. Most regs fall between hobby and obsession, few cross into straight addiction. Key is self-awareness: if the game runs you instead of you running the game, alarm bells.

For me it covers all; it is my number 1 hobby. With that I can justify loosing money as hobbies are often expensive, poker is rather cheap hobby for me. Though I am not loosing. And by nature I get obsessed and addicted to games easily.
