well, of course, if you spend at least one hour a week, then this is part of your life, because this hour leaves your life, because anything that is not part of your life, you do not waste time

In my life there are decisions where I always even the odds in a poker game, it's a rare occurrence but sometimes it's beneficial, in poker assessing the situation becomes necessary because you don't have a lot of time and the way to do it is immediate.

Poker

Yes it is. 7 days a week, I'm hooked. I think the day I see it as fun and games and not take it so seriously will make it a little less stressful, but for now I play to get to that final table every single time I play.

Poker has been a very important part of my life for some time. I planned to become a professional player, but it didn't work out for me. Now I'm playing freerolls to make a bankroll. And I like to watch poker movies, read news about professional players. I'm trying to develop my own playing skills.

It is one part of my life but not the main part because poker should be second thing in your life not the most important,for me more important thing is to find a girlfriend very soon and I wish that I can teach her to play poker freerolls and trade with cryptocurrency so we can do both things together and have even much more fun then I have now.Going out and play some sport is also part of my life,go to work is also part of my life,talking with friends also.gambling,poker sportbetting should be second thing not first one ,never first important.

Hi Friend

At the moment it's just entertainment, but I hope one day I can make a living from it.

Yes, it's an integral part of what makes me 'me'. You couldn't describe me as a person while omitting Poker.

Poker has become good part of my life. That doesn't mean I play excessively or every day. I enjoy it whenever have free time to kill, earning few cents on top, not bad.:cool:

Certainly.
However whereas I used to play every single day, After two years of this, the magic was wearing off. I found myself making calls that really should have been folds. I was playing hands I knew I shouldn't be in.
When we moved from Stars to Replay for Poker League, it was interfering with my ability to play multiple games on stars whilst playing.
Given how much I hate the Replay interface (1990 anyone?), I've decided to quit League until it moves to another platform.
Add to the fact that so many people are leaking the tourney passwords these days, the *must play* games are getting fewer and fewer.
Spring has sprung and the golf clubs are dusted off and we're back to playing fortnightly golf, weekly board games...

So whereas I used to play poker daily, now I'm only a dead certainty on Friday nights, with a .500 batting average for the Weekend $300 CC Freerolls.

So whilst I still consider it one of my hobbies, it is no longer my focus.

Best of luck!

I call a part of my life what I cannot do without in my life. This is to eat, sleep, take care of my family, drive a car and much more. Without poker, my life would not be incomplete. That's why I can't call poker a part of my life. This is an entertainment that I sometimes spend my time on.

I've always liked to play poker, but I don't consider myself a professional, I've won a few bucks in freerolls, but nothing more, I've thought about investing in my career but lacked courage and especially money. Today poker in my life is just a hobby.

It all starts with a work ethic. If you just can't force yourself to sit down at a computer and play every single time (at least most of the days), I have some sad news for you - you won't succeed. Playing professional or semi-professional poker is all about being single-minded and being able to play even if you don't feel like it right now. And in your life there will be a lot of days when you will lose desire, and the reasons will be very different. You have to overcome yourself and, in the end, open the tables and play. If poker is a serious part of your life, you should take care of it first of all. The best way to help yourself with this is to set up a regular schedule for each day you work.

Poker is just a hobby for me. I play when I'm bored, in my spare time. GL

Poker is fun when it allows me to win money. When I lose it's a headache.

I have been playing poker for over 11 years and I can confidently say that poker is a part of my life. I can't imagine my life without my favorite hobby.

I play at least one MTT every day these days, so yes, we can probably say it’s a part of my life.
