Poker is a hobby, an obsession or an addiction.

[RustyRed83]

Hobby for me these days. I used to be obsessed, thinking i could quit my job and play poker 24/7. But i realized that was silly and i would just become another statistic joining the other 95% of players that won't be playing poker for a living.

I think it could be all 3
and in some people all 3 things together

 

[MishkaZL]

For me it's a hobby, but I know a lot of people who are obsessed and many who are addicted.

Poker is also a hobby for me. I am not addicted to the game, but I have a habit of playing in my favorite tournaments at least 3-4 times a week. But this is a habit, not an addiction.

 

[skaterick]

its all 3 to me , obviously

Poker for me is a hobby, a few moments of relaxation, fun and exercise of the mind

Hobby. Maintaining a healthy perspective is crucial. It's important to recognize when poker starts to encroach upon other areas of life or becomes all-consuming. If that ever happens, it's essential to take a step back, reassess, and seek support if needed. All in all, I believe that poker can be a fulfilling and enjoyable hobby, as long as it's approached responsibly and with a balanced mindset.

For me it's a hobby, I know it's not an addiction because I don't miss it when I can't play.

Depending on the seriousness of the attitude, poker can be both a hobby and an obsession and addiction

 

[fullclock]

Poker is a hobby for me, that's why I enjoy it so much. Poker should not be an addiction or an obsession, this sport is something so unique that it is played as such.

Poker for money is gambling. Which means that it is not only hobby but moreover anyone who is constantly connected with it is addicted.

[Edu1]

[Gian Totaro]

Pastime, hobby whatever you want to call it, I think that poker is one of the most fun things there is, you can generate a lot of money. At this moment I am taking it as something extra. But answering your question more, it has a little of everything.

Poker is more than just a game for me, it is a passionate hobby. As I sit down at a poker table, I feel the excitement and adrenaline rush through my veins. It's a time when I can challenge my mind, make strategic decisions and test my ability to read opponents. Poker offers me an escape from the everyday and allows me to immerse myself in a competitive yet fun environment. Also, it's a social hobby where I can interact with other players, share stories and learn from their experiences. Although it is a recreational activity, I do not underestimate its level of complexity, which encourages me to continue studying and improving myself as a player.

For me it's a hobby, but I know a lot of people who are obsessed and many who are addicted.

Poker is a hobby for me. I play in the evenings, drink beer, and in a word, relax after a hard day's work.

 

[Rahatis]

I think it's addiction for 95%+ of the players. For me it's a hobby for the last five years at least.

 

[oleg8519]

I think poker is not for the weak, that is, such a needle that you try to win more and more every time, so poker is an addiction.

Without any prodding from her, you sacrificed something you loved for the woman that you love. That is so romantic! ❤️ Congratulations on forty six years together, and best wishes for many many more.

Thank You, but to be honest I made no sacrifice, just the best investment in my Life, Marrying her was the best move I ever made

 

[Chebchoub]

For me it is a hobby and I am very addicted to this hobby.
Any game or hobby can be addictive, but the real danger is gambling addiction, the other thing is that gambling becomes dangerous if the gambler is led to bankruptcy, harm to others, or other bad things. I see that we can gamble in most games, the problem is not in games or poker.

 

[markdias]

For me it's always been a hobby, I'd really like to become a professional, but I still lack something, dedication maybe, maybe one day I'll succeed!

Poker is something between a hobby and an addiction)))
