Skill and a little luck, that's the key to success in poker. It seems to me that luck and skill in poker are interrelated.

passion to play, also a hobby, and a opportunity to make a little more money,
is some part luck in Poker? Yes i think so, but it also has skill in it.
Just like you can have skill in blackjack. ;)

My thoughts on it.

It's a hobby for me. One day it might become more if I start to take it a little more serious. I need to quit playing trash hands and tighten up a bit. Then I think I will be able to play it for money more.

poker as a mix

-Poker can be as a favorite passion, a promising occupation in terms of extracting material, or even emotional profits (when friends and family gather for the game) or a simple hobby when spending your free time. And, especially, it is attractive in poker that he can combine everything together at once.

and if you do not have the skill, then luck will not be able to constantly pull you by the ears from the initially lost banks. Early or late, and she will get tired and turn away from you:jd4::jd4::jd4:

I believe that I have answered several questions similar to this one here and in other forums.
Poker is really passionate but completely disagree that depends on luck, poker and a game of skill and study.
If it were just luck would not have felt all the dedication that is used in poker.
Luck can count but not in any way essential or indispensable

For me, poker and hobbies and passion as well as the opportunity to win something, but if there is no patience and not a lot of luck, then you will hardly be able to achieve something in poker!

Poker is a passion for me. Probably since I was a kid I started playing and competing with everyone. And I like to gamble

For me poker is a hobby. But it's an addictive hobby.
Maybe someday it will become some opportunity, that would be very good for joining the useful to the pleasant.

Definitely a mixture of the 3. It is forever evolving with different stats, skills, and different strategies.

I think that mastery in the game is a very important advantage and in some moments and tournaments luck also plays a huge role in the game, playing poker is like a hobby, and I feel good when my hobby brings me a little extra profit in the game!

I think that in poker a lot depends on luck, there are happy players, it is impossible to play against them, they win all the time.:mad:

I appreciate the passion and poker as an opportunity not appreciate it as a hobby because ultimately as we are passionate about the game play for money.

For me it's a hobby. I have seen that poker requires a lot of skill but it also requires luck.
