I prefer to look at it as a hobby, makes the game much less stressful

I play poker as a hobby. My intention is to be a good player to win money enough to buy small things, like a night out, a little travel on a weekend or something like that. Never wanted to live of poker.

I play poker as a hobby but my dream is to build a bankroll and maybe make $100 per day.

As a hobby, because it is a game and there is the factor of luck in a big percentage. The nice would be to become one of the main income sources

For poker to be a job, you have to be Tommy Corman. For poker to remain a hobby , you have to be Jack Singer. And Betty Moland has to be between those extremes. (heroes of the movie " Honeymoon in Las Vegas")

I see poker as a mental sport that helps to improve my brain and streamline my decision-making, I hope to reach a profitable level but with a lot of patience going up step by step

Poker is more than a hobby to me. It is a passion. However I am very lucky to have a job that I love that pays very well. So even if I were good enough to make poker my job, I'm not sure I could afford the pay cut.

And this and that, since I can sometimes earn in a couple of hours more than at my job in a month ...

For me it's just a hobby. Something to spend the time and have fun. Yes, I may hit some bad-beats but since I'm not taking it too seriously, it shouldn't bother me as much. Luckily, just playing micro-stakes.

Undoubtedly a hobby. Since I have a job and I don’t invest money in poker, I play for the money I won in freerolls - for fun

Hello. Poker to me is a very challenging game. I take my play very serious. I do not play to get rich. I play because I enjoy it. I do not see it as a job. so I must say between the two, it is a hobby.

I would like to dedicate myself completely and totally to poker. I mean, if I would see it as a clear job, it is also the best hobby in the world
