Spomehwre between a passion and a hobby. if it whre a job, it might not be much fun for me. Ilike being able to gointo a tourney fresh and have great expectations, but not need it to survive.

Of course it's a hobby because you need money to make some profit in poker.

Hobby and passion.

Used to play full time and there are incredibly great aspects to it (freedom, money, women, challenge, fun, good friends).

That being said go on a sustained downswing and it can be brutal if you're not rolled for it. Also burnout can eat you up, and bush league wanna be tough guy anglers can get to be dumb and dumberer.

I'd consider poker as blooded war, poker players as fearless generals.

I'm very passionate about poker and have been for years. While it's currently a hobby, I would love for it to be my job. Obviously, you need quite the bankroll for that. Maybe one day? :)

I consider it a hobby that I enjoy getting better at. I would need to become a whole lot better for it to be a source of income.

for me poker is my passion and at the same time it is a job because if you dedicate time and you are very disciplined in what you do I believe that the results will come in a positive way and you will not have problems, poker is a way to generate income like any other sport, we know it is difficult, but with dedication and perseverance you can get the expected results, That is why every day great players come out in poker, that is not the result of chance, or when we see the great players always win, behind all that there is a great professional work, so I think you should take the game as a passion, that way you will have respect for the game and take it more seriously and responsibly.

Poker was supposed to be just a hobby for me and it has become a passion and a way of life.

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

I think poker is a passionate game that depends on luck and does not depend only on skill.
I don't know what I'd label myself, but if I wasn't making money at it, I wouldn't be playing it.
