Right now I consider him a hobby, even though he also makes me a profit. And you are right to say that luck also depends, but if you want to dedicate yourself to this, you must know that to have good results in the long run, the ability is more important.

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

Nothing depends only the skill. I guess poker is passion and a hobby, I love poker, I use to play chess and now I just wanna play poker. Is very cool you be good on poker.

I think there are players from all three types, but anyone who plays with passion will never be a good player. I think most people play as hobbies, of course some people make a living from it, but that's very rare.

For me it is a very good pastime, since when I play I just focus on the game and forget the rest

I always consider poker a hobby, but when you start winning, and your bankroll gets bigger, it will eventually gonan switch to a JOB, a fun job :)

At one point I would have called it a passion, I think it's been demoted to 'hobby' though...

I think it is closer to passion and hobby and if the things go very good it can be a favorite hobby. I wouldn`t like to see it as a job with the form a job has these days.:bike:

For me, it's three at a time. A mixture of everything, it serves me as work, I am passionate about playing it, more if it has some statistic.

The three in one, passion each tournament is a maximum experience full of adrenaline and if it is accompanied by a reward, much better the maximum.

For a very long time I was convinced it was more passion than a hobby.

To me, poker is a hobby, but on any given day it can be any or all of those 3.

I think of it more like a part time job/hobby. If I could make it my full time job I think I would still want to balance it out with other work so that I don't get consumed by the monster of the swings.

Its both a mixture of passion and hobby. Once upon a time I hope to be a professional bowler and had qualified for the PBA. Unfortunately I got hurt and could not bowl competitively anymore. I also played a lot of competitive sports. My nature is being a very competitive person. Poker allows that part of me to continue as I get older but it is just a hobby.
