Definitely a hobby and a source of entertainment. However, I am always posting and asking questions on ways in which I can improve my game.

It could be said that poker is a hobby for me, but lately it is becoming everything I think and I am not liking it very much. I am seriously thinking of stopping spending so many hours and playing only on weekends or days when I have tournaments


I get that, dude! When you get into something, it can take over. Do your best to have balance In your life. You will figure it out 👍

Unfortunately, lately-more of a hobby. I don't know what happened to me, but I can't make money. Today my KK again got into QQ and on the river came Q. Maybe I caught a downstreak. (((((

If it is on your mind most of the time.

Even if you are playing for fun, if poker is on your mind constantly and you sacrifice relationships or goals and ambitions or if you start shirking responsibilities then you are probably an addict and should quit immediately. I was addicted to slots and cigarettes .. I quit them both and my life is so much better now. You can do it.

This is an tricky question. It depend from person to person, for me is an not very much profitable hobby at this moment. However i love to play and i have self control so i know i will sit and play if i have 2 3 hours for playing. Mostly at evening when i finish everything i had to do during the day. But i will not sacrifice my family and relations because of poker.

Poker

I think for every poker player online poker is more than a hobby. At some point in the life of every player, poker begins to take up too much space and a person becomes obsessed with insanity.

I would guess 99% on this site are hobby type players, I doubt Pros go in for freerolls much.

For me its a hobby to see how much free money I can make. I have cashed out a few hundred over the years, more or less all from Freerolls, and maybe a little from low stakes play. Right now I have over $200 built up in bankrolls between 3 rooms.

Maybe one day I will try to turn it into a bigger pile playing for higher stakes...

Cheers !

Yes, although what also keeps me going is the possibility of earning several dollars

I like to play in my free time. I think this is a hobby. But perhaps in the future this will be an additional income. I hope this community will help me with this. =)

There are players who earn more in one tournament than I have in my entire life. I do not think that they would like to exchange with me)))
P.S. I'm not complaining. Good luck to all in our hobby!)

Hobby

For me it is definitely a hobby. I can't commit the time to get really good. I like to spend a few bucks, low level and have fun.

Only if you are a loser! Yes. If you are a winner over the long haul! It is a part time job!

Yes, its a hobby... But somewhere, in the backyard of my mind, lives a hope of being at least a part time job with constant income
