Used to be a passion of mine when I first started playing, but now its mostly a hobby now that I don't have enough time to play it anymore and I've become exhausted from playing so many hours over the years.

For me poker is a tool. It helps me to improve myself. It teaches me all the basics that I need for entrepreneurship. I never planned to be the best poker player in the world, but it is my vehicle to drive forward to my goal.

It's my favorite hobby and I hope it'll grow into something like a job in the future.

I am retired now but I first learned the rank of hands and a little about dealing when I was 8 years old from a friend whose father was also stationed in japan. since then, I have learned what to me is an uncountable number of different games.
as I said, I am retired now, but I have never lost my fascination with any game of poker. so definitely a hobby of passionate interest.

For me, poker is just a hobby, a pleasant pastime in my free time. I generally think that poker is a means of earning a living, you need luck and luck to be your best friends! If you are deprived of this, you should not be a professional poker player.

Poker is an exciting game for some, it can also be a job and a hobby for others, particularly, I think a stressful game.

When I was first started playing online, I was pretty passionate about it on a regular basis. But that was about 16 or so years ago.
Now sometimes I'm really feeling it, and sometimes I'm just doing it to pass the time.
Always a hobby, never a job.

For me, Poker started out as a hobby. As I got to know the game, with its many facets, it became a passion. Since then I started studying the game and maybe flirting with the possibility of one day if I get a job!

Just a hobby. I like ring games more. It is just tough for me to sit for more than 3 hours waiting to win $6.

fun
and a strategy game (beat opponents by enough blinds to keep your head afloat to the rake you have to pay on each pot you play and win and profit from on top) or a gamble for fun entertainment a sweat or experimenting with strategies lines depending upon mood

Passion and hobby for now. I would not devote all my day to this as many professional players do. And most importantly, don't forget to play sports. Avoid sedentary lifestyle and keep a healthy mind.

My poker is basically for fun. But I very much want to make it a major source of income. It gives me independence, peace of mind and many opportunities. I will be glad if other players help me become better and fulfill one of my many dreams.
