From a recreational perspective I do not think it is. If it wasn't fun there wouldn't be so many people doing it. And there certainly wouldn't be such a large community dedicated to learning/mastering the game.

If you are playing as a source of income I do think it could be pretty hard. Certainly a roller coaster of emotions at times.

In my opinion, poker is very tough when you move every 5 minutes to another table because you do not have time to know the other players.

It depends on what goals you set.

When it starts to be something I consider "work", I think I will quit. It is hard, but I would call it hard play.

For me, no, because I do not make money with poker. I do not get it and I have to do other things to support myself, and poker is one of the ways to earn extra money. Although most of the place is for losing money.

It's hard work. Tired eyes in front of the computer, your back is tense and many other factors.

It depends how you look at it. Poker is fun If you play with your extra money, but to be a winner is a hard work as far as been aware of every statistic available,
For me is a recreational activity that needs time and some money but not "work" per se,


:rolleyes:

Sometimes it's hard work. Especially when you play in MTT. And so, I think that poker is never easy. Just luck sometimes makes the game easier.

All right. I understood this at the very beginning, when I made my first deposit and lost this money in the hope of instantly multiplying it. Only with time comes a sense of confidence in the game and awareness of the problems during the fight. Experience and experience again!:icon_stud;)

It depends on your goals. If you play for fun it is not hard at all. On the contrary - it gives you pleasure as every hobby and you can always quit when you are tired.

If you treat poker as your job and main source of income and especially if you fell that you can get to the top and try to achieve it it can become very hard job.

I enjoy playing Poker and hope that train some skills during the process. Of course sometimes I feel tired if the game lasts too long but it’s cool nevertheless. So,for me it isn’t a hard work)

If you have a good bankroll, you can play for fun and try to make a profit, but if you raise the bankroll from scratch, it's hard and takes a lot of time, but sometimes I play and it's hard for me to win, but sometimes I play and it's easy for me win, do not know how for other players but poker is my hobby in my spare time, but I think that poker is a hard work for the players who become champions!

well, it depends on what poker room to play. on poker stars and many others, that the pain and nerves, etc. but there are poker rooms where you get the fun of playing and winning a large sum of money .

Hello,

For poker to be a source of money (long term), you need :
- Study
- Commitment
- Patience
- Many hours of "play"

Sounds like hard work mate!

It is obvious, that poker is a hard work.
You need to play and study regularly.
Be sure to improve your game every day, every week.
And if you are patient and disciplined to work every day, then in the future you will be able to make money.

It depends on how it relates. For me it's a hobby. If I tried to make a living by playing poker, I think he would have become a job. In any case, it takes me some time.
