For me it's a hobby, but I know a lot of people who are obsessed and many who are addicted.
For me it's only a hobby as well. I sometimes have breaks with poker and can stay a couple of months without playing... even if I love this game 😀

It's a hobby for me, and i didn't like to turn into obsession or addiction.
I would like to turn into a profession, but i realise i don't do anything into this direction. With lots of study and perseverance, one can make it a profession.

I used to think about getting rich with poker, but I realized that this is impossible for me, now it's just a hobby for me

As I have said previously is a combination of those things and it’s intriguing and really interesting that you can say that about a card game

Definitely a hobby. If you stop thinking healthy while playing, you better stop playing. I've seen too many falls due to gambling.

Poker can be a hobby, an obsession, or even an addiction, depending on how you approach it and how it affects your life. For me, it's currently a hobby, but I have plans to dedicate myself to it full-time in the future, although work commitments prevent me from doing so at the moment.

When it comes to the world of gambling, the line between hobby, obsession, and addiction can indeed be quite thin. What might start as a harmless hobby can sometimes evolve into a consuming obsession or even an addiction that impacts one's personal and financial well-being. It's important for individuals to approach activities like poker with a healthy mindset and a clear understanding of their limits. blackjack, often referred to as 21, is a timeless and exhilarating card game that has captured the hearts of countless players around the world. With its blend of strategy, skill, and luck, it's no wonder that blackjack remains a favorite game for many enthusiasts. Remember, whether it's poker, blackjack, or any other form of gambling, responsible gaming is key. Set limits, play within your means, and prioritize the entertainment value over any potential obsessions or addictive tendencies.

Yes, yes, and yes! But my addiction isn't with the money, it's just with playing the game itself also including the study of it. I am totally fascinated by it!

It was never an addiction to me. But I have been obsessed with it. Now I think that is a hobby/passion.

For me, it's definitely an obsession, but I don't think it's an addiction. I have a very genuine love for the game! I like to think those who are addicted, just like the thrill of winning and even losing money. In other words, they are addicted to gambling in general and don't necessarily have a love for the game of poker in of itself. However, I do think obsession and addiction to poker can go hand in hand though! Does anyone else agree??

For me it's a hobby and pastime in my spare time. Mastery of poker goes through mastery of one's own mind.

Poker is a hobby for me. I play for fun, usually on weekends when I have free time. I would like to play more, but I don't have that opportunity yet, but I hope that in the fall I will be able to devote more time to the game.

That really depends on how you take it, since it can be a hobby, an obsession or an addiction; It can even be a way to earn extra money.
all up to you

I've seen poker these 3 ways. Nowadays, I just have it as a hobby. But I've seen a lot of obsessed people who lost everything they had.
