I think poker is a passionate game that depends on luck and does not depend only on skill.

Passion hobby!

It's best to have luck and skill,mixed with patience,selective aggressiveness,and intelligence.If it was easy,,,it would't be so much fun!

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.

70% of luck and 30% of skill I guess..poker is a hobby for the majority )) but my best friend earns playing poker. nowaday his summary stack is 130 000$/ he asured me to play it))

a passionate hobby that has allowed me to make a little extra money...

Hobby for sure. I am not that good.

Well I look on it from this side that it's my hobby with opportunity one day reach level where I can depend on it like my primary work.

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 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

For me definitely poker is hobby - a good way to spend your free time and even win some money in some cases.

Hobby for me.

Hobby here

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!

A mixture of the 3, this game is fascinating.

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.

At the moment is an opportunity for me to try to gain some money wile baby-seat my son, maibe in the future become a hobbit or a passion or even my job,how knows.

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.

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.

Hobby

still an exciting hobby for me... I still use play money when I don't feel to use the small bankroll I'm building on the other side and it's exciting! practicing myself to lose 10K chips before 10K$ :P

and a good start later can become a profession, poker is not luck and yes ability, I still have not but I'm trying to improve myself

Poker for me is a hobby. I like to play it because it is a fun game, and sometimes you get rewarded with a prize.

Hobbies & interests

For me, poker is just a hobby.

Poker for me is a hobby. I play poker for fun, but also additional profit will not hurt.

holdem is like nesscaffe 3in1 ))))

First of all, these are opportunities, but you have to constantly work on your game, for its improvement !!! I am sure that those who say that they are constantly unlucky do not even try to look for the cause of their bad luck, considering that they are doing everything correctly !!! I think that the main factor of winning or losing in poker is your decisions and whether they are correct or not depends only on you !!!

For me, poker is a hobby and the opportunity to earn me the game brings pleasure and joy.

Poker for me is a #2 hobby. My #1 hobby is the guitar. If I ever hit the big time in poker, I'm gonna create a nice studio to create music.

Hello.
Poker is a hobby for me and I always enjoy the game. But I hope that with the experience, I will be able to profit from the game.

i have passion for this hobby and there is a mix of skill and luck involved in poker but i think luck may be a bit higher than skill

I consider poker as a hobby. Something to do after work.

I love poker and everything in my life.

Dangerous hobby (for bankroll and family budget)

With the right approach, you can improve not only your financial life, but also your social position, level of thoughts. Therefore, if you are not ready to give up everything for the sake of poker, then you can think of it as an evening hobby. And, most likely, you will not regret it.

I play poker since I was 18 years old and it is really awesome, a really good game and I have a lot of fun with my friends when we play poker and I guess it is a hobby when I play with my friends cause' I just want to spend time and have fun but it is also a passion cause I like to play too much time I want to play poker all the time or at least almost all the time and I do not live from poker at this moment of my life but I still consider poker a job cause I would like to live from poker and travel around the world playing the best tournaments and earning too much money with my game,it would be awesome.

in my opinion its a combination of all the flavors to what you really feel about it, from hobby to, taking it as a job with lots of passion that thrives you to be a better player.

A passion that is a hobby that I would love to see become a career

hobby that I enjoy

Definitely a hobby and at the moment, a way to pass time over
the winter months when the weather keeps us inside

For me, poker is three in one, it is passion, it is a hobby, and it is a kind of work. I am playing for 8-9 years, and in recent years I get regular profits. I think poker is one of the best things in my life, but in the first place I always have my main job is trading in securities.

I have been a passionate poker player and constant. Usually I use my learnings from poker to life and business situations. Poker for me is my best hobby.
