I have recently travelled to the casino (4 hours by bus) where I met an old poker buddy who tells me that he have relocated to play poker daily as a living for 2 years already. His BR swings at an ave of $100K every now & then as he sustains $3K a month for the the family expenses. That to me is a pro & I wouldn't like to live in such conditions so I'm maintaining poker as just a hobby.
For me, poker is more than just a hobby; it's a passion that I've honed into a profession. What started as a casual interest evolved into a deep fascination with the strategic complexities of the game. Now, I approach poker with the mindset of a professional, dedicating time to study, continuous improvement, and staying on top of the ever-evolving dynamics of the poker world.
Turning it into a profession comes with its challenges, sure, but the thrill of the game, the strategic depth, and the potential for financial rewards make it a fulfilling career choice. It's not just about the cards; it's about the mental game, the constant learning, and the satisfaction of making well-calculated decisions. So, for me, poker has become more than just a pastime – it's a profession I'm passionate about.

Running a poker site is a business. Working for a site is a profession. Playing poker is a hustle.
I started playing poker as a hobby and as the months went by I started to take it seriously after investigating the high profits that many players were obtaining, so this year I decided to become a professional poker player.
For me is a hobby. But is a huge passion and I felt all that in my first ever live event. I won a satty entry to a live event and the experience was unique and unforgettable. For all the new guys in poker try all the free sattys and record ur first live event … it will be funny in some years
Hobby.
Happily helps me pass time.
If only i had the money to go on the tours. Even then it would still be a hobby. I play totally for enjoyment.
Would at best make amateur career player status. Dont think i could handle all the commitments of a true professional.
