Good morning, everyone.

Whenever we ask a question related to poker, the answer will almost always be: it depends. So, let's analyze this question.

Is poker a profession or entertainment? It depends. For some people, it's entertainment; for others, it's a profession.

Since poker is one of the most played card games in the world, in many countries people play simply for fun. Many people work all week and, when they get home, they deposit $10 on a poker site, or $50, depending on their financial situation, and just have fun. They play a cash game, a Spin & Go, or a tournament, but only for entertainment, without the intention of making money.

On the other hand, there is a small percentage of people who see poker as a profession. They study the game, analyze databases, study ranges, boards, use solvers, and constantly work on improving their technical skills. Their goal is to make a living from poker, treating the game as a job and aiming to make a consistent profit over the long term.

Especially in very wealthy countries. Germany, for example, is one of the richest countries in Europe, and I see many players from there. I don't know what it's like at the higher stakes, but at the lower stakes, my impression is that Germany has a lot of recreational players. Compared to other countries, I feel that the percentage of recreational players is higher.
