For me, it's love.

Currently it's a way of seeing how people with no intelligence can succeed in life... so come in as an inspiration! LOL

(a little addicted too)
Me, as always, very kind! haha



But I would answer today in the following way:

A mix of the three elements... But above all, a tool to try to understand a little about randomness (both in life and in the game... haha).

Unfortunately it can be all 3, I've been on all 3 roads and 2 of them are not pretty, specially when you start to prioritize poker over you other daily responsibilities or family, or when you start gambling more money than you cant afford to lose.

I've never reached rock bottom, but I have to admit that i've fallen bad. I don't even want to imagine how bad it gets for people who actually play this for a living.

Nowadays it's just a hobby, I only play to win some extra money. I definitely can now live without poker. But when I started many years ago, it was an obsession, probably there were periods that was an addiction.

For me, poker was initially a hobby, over time it became an obsession, and now it is a fully controlled addiction of sorts.

It's a hobby for me too, I can easily go days without playing and I don't feel bad about it, but when I'm playing I think it's very cool!

Poker is a source of income for me. I know a lot of players (including some in our Community) who play poker more for fun than for money. It's harder for me to play against these players because they're more aggressive and unpredictable. :unsure:

Poker can be any of the three — it depends on the person. For some it’s fun, for others it’s passion, and for a few it becomes a problem.

At the moment it's just a hobby, I play whenever I can and it's a game I always enjoy playing.

Aren't they all the same thing
A hobby, that's an obsession that you have and addiction to!
