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.
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))
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
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!
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.
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 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.
