Is poker passion or addiction to gambling?

for some a passion, for some a professional choice, unfortunately for some it turns into gambling addiction

No Bologna

A passion for me. Love to play. If I make a little $, it's a bonus. I enjoy beating the others.

Poker is a passion. Lifestyle, so to speak.

Never. For me it's always been a matter of priorities. Used to be family first, work second, then poker third. Even when I played professionally in the 80s, I stuck to these priorities. I'm retired now so currently my priorities are family first, poker second. For instance, when I go on trips with my wife, I leave my computer at home so I can spend all my time with her.

For me it is Passion and Asiccion!! But I don't allow myself to get away from 'normal' social life or with the responsibility of my work. I have learned to give him his time because I really like this game and I want to win a big prize one day!! Balance between: Passion, Addiction and Responsibility.

It's a passion, love poker. I'm retired and have time to play online. Love the competition of playing against others. It's not just the money, although it's a reward, but winning.
