Definitely I am only playing to win. I get pissed off if I lose a game of Monopoly. So if I lose in a poker game with money on the line I am going full Phil Hellmuth!

I have a dream of playing poker for a living, but currently only play out of enjoyment. I don't do things I know I should do simply because I enjoy breaking those rules more. But I know that if one day I were to become a serious player then I would have to completely overhaul my approach. Until then, I'm still hoping I can luck my way into big successes.

I think that it can be both a job and a hobby, you need to use the brain, then you can call it mental work.
least 50% job but 100% hobby :D

I mean, do it as a hobby, but try to do your best and learn and eventually you can make a little money

I always want to play to win, but there are times when just participating I am already satisfied.​


I think that both options will be appropriate here, I play poker for fun, but when you win money, it brings even more fun

Poker it's not hobby ..If you lose your money it's good to delete your account ..play for win.. if you don't have SKILLS to play just play for fun with no real money ..for me it's a way to make some money

As in any business, it is good to combine business with pleasure, I think that when you start your way in poker it is a hobby, as soon as the results appear on an ongoing basis it becomes also a means of earning.

Poker for me is a hobby, I don't play so much to be more than that, but one day I will focus more on this hobby because maybe who knows I will end up playing in Las Vegas or Paris, but until then keep dreaming :))

Poker for me started as a Friday or a Saturday night of fun with friends now that i play more and have won some $$ at it i would say it's a little more than a hobby :)

I think the majority doesn't make a living playing poker. So maybe it's a bit more than just a hobby, like a real passion;)

Personally I think I am an average player, I have hit the final table a few times in MTT events and cashed out,but to be honest not winning much.
I once played on a site that offered a £10 freeroll every night and there was usually only 20 to 30 players and it got a bit embarrassing hitting final table every night.
I actually ran up £150 over a couple of weeks and then started playing on another site that paid out tourney points that you could trade in for cash but they were bigger tourneys and I enjoy the challenge.
I eventually ran up around £160 on this other site but thought I was getting better rewards in the £10 freerolls so went back to the first only to find they had stopped the poker site and had concentrated on sports betting.
I eventually got the cash paid into my bank account, because I explained that although I enjoy the game of poker, I do not like to gamble especially if I am betting on another person or teams performance.
If I fall at the first hand in poker I only have myself to blame, If a football team failed I would be cursing the whole Team :)

It ’s best to win money by participating in the game. If you ca n’t win, enjoy the fun of the game itself. If you are not a professional player,
