Hobby, helps me de-stress the day.

For me, it's a hobby, because I don't live off the finances I win in poker, so I don't play poker too seriously ...

I like to think of poker as a hobby but I like the idea of extra money every now and then.

So much free stuff online a player can really play leisurely online and pull out a small yearly profit.

For me poker is a hobby that I want to be a job when my luck changes and I win enough to survive and thrive.

I lost my job recently because of the pandemic. Right now I view poker seriously even I'm playing micro stakes. I try so hard for the past few months to improve my game and Cardschat helped me a lot especially when I saw their "How to become a winning poker player in 30 days".

Hello.
I see poker as a hobby that will bring me income in the future. I believe that it is very important in life to do your favorite thing, so I made my choice and my favorite thing is poker.

Poker is a hobby to me at the moment. I play it when I feel like it, which for the most part is most days. I really enjoy poker but still have much to learn before I could ever consider it to be a job that I am consistently earning enough to live on. Perhaps one day :).

It's not a hobby because I don't play just for fun. I'm playing everyday, always trying to learn more and trying to win.
It's also not a job because I don't make enough money to even feed my dog...
So, atm poker is game I do enjoy and I'm trying to beat by becoming lucrative.
I guess this it.

A hobby
A job no, because it is not reliable

I think, there is no chance to get same money for me in next year in poker as I get now from my work. That's why poker is just one of my hobbies.

Before my country went into the economic crisis I saw it as a hobby but now it turns out that I earn more playing poker than with my usual job

I see poker in many ways, it helped me to value patience and try to get it, I relate poker to an intriguing puzzle, to the national and international financial market, both require an opportunistic view to make a profit, poker is something I enjoy with the possibility of making a profit and training my mind

I see poker as a hobby because I don't win enough money to be considered my job. I see as hobby that can give me an extra money every month. :)

It is a game of pleasure considering that I did not earn money from it to allow myself to pay my current expenses.

I think it's a hobby, because at work people sit for 8-12 hours a day

I consider playing poker as a hobby, since I have a family, and it is important for me to know that my financial stability is due to my work as an engineer. Taking the game of poker as a job, it is first of all constant risks and instability, plus a lot of time to tart. And life does not stand still.
