I don't think so. Even if you lose money you get some pleasure of spending time in good game. You can spend money for unhealthy food or alcohol, or you can play poker [emoji6]

Unlike most other hobbies you can actually end up winning money in poker. So maybe its more reasonable to ask, if its a waste of time. This is something, each individual has to answer himself. For sure playing poker is not particularly productive but neither are many other activities like watching movies or playing video games. As long as your hobby does not affect your personal life, your professional life or your financial situation in a negative way, everything is probably fine.

Would never consider it a waste of money. Treat it as entertainment and play a bankroll to match.

If you are the worst player on the table, then yes you are likely wasting your time and money

If you are above average on the table, then you are likely making money and enjoying your time

The key is how much you study, how well you understand the game relative to your opponents, how well you play, and how much you enjoy it.

It's not for everyone, but personally I LOVE IT! <3

It really depends on 2 things. If you don't enjoy playing - and you spend more money than you can afford to spend playing - then yes it is a waste of money.

For the majority of players it is. There's an opportunity cost to improving your poker skills and it's questionable if you'll ever get enough of a return to justify it.

I really dont think so unless you are just throwing it away without giving it a good go.
make it a challenge ,grow get better .
See you at wsop final table
 
I don’t think so, if you pull yourself together and follow this game, then I think that you can achieve pretty good heights!

obviously not, try to evolve in the game, know how to play, participate in training, reading books, analyzing hands, and it can turn profitable !!!
 
If you have an addiction and you don't enjoy the game. But there is always a way to play on conditional chips and learn more.

Here all lovers, maximum sometimes winning on sweets. From this point of view, I'm not sorry for the money. This is my hobby and I get more PLEASURE from it. And isn't going to the movies worth the money, or buying a book for free! or a condom and a bottle of wine? Everything in this world is relative:ciao::ciao::ciao:

Yea I'm glad I wrote this post !it realy help me to realize that
 
From the practical point of view it is simple if you lose money if it is but if your balance is positive it is not, also as most have told you can lose money but if you enjoy playing then it is a well invested money even if you never win since you are paying for a hobby
 
depending on how you play ... you can spend money on other habits .. and in poker you can make money .. on the other hand, it’s the money of those who lost money .. also an obscure thing ... to think that someone is you He curses whether it’s everyone’s business to play or not to decide for himself ..
 
I don’t think it’s a waste of money. For me, poker is a hobby, if you still manage to raise money.
 
It is not a waste of money, sometimes even when you lose and not get to you goal, you get experience and why not, some fun. Poker is life 😀
 
I don't think that ... For many people poker is their hobby ... and like any hobby we spend money ... However in poker we can have the chance to make money and have a great time ...!
