Good question

i believe a hobby fills in your time so you don't have to feel or think when doing it and a passion is what you can't wait to do and stirs your senses.
It is totally possible to have a passion be a hobby as well, at the same time, and vice versa

POKER is one of my passions! (that goes for all of us huh?)

Poker is a hobby for me, but from time to time it really annoys me, after the next series of bad beats

Since I'm new, poker is just a hobby for me. I'm not a gambler, so I don't think it will become a passion. And I don't think I'll ever get to the point where I can make a living playing poker. Therefore, poker is a great pastime for me after a working day. :)

However, I am learning and growing. I try to control my games, keep statistics - that's why it's not just entertainment. It's a hobby.

It is entertainment for now, but as i advance, it becomes more of a hobby. Who knows, might develop into passion later? :)

For me poker is neither a hobby nor a passion, for me poker is an opportunity to get money.
Probably there are people for whom poker is both a hobby and a passion, and the money received from playing poker is just a side effect.
And if you think about it, then probably if you want to succeed in any of your business, you need a passion for this business, make mistakes a thousand times and still continue to do it until it turns out.

Success is not final, failures are not fatal, only the courage to continue matters. @ Winston Churchill.
Probably this is the passion, to continue no matter what.

It's a game I like to play so I'd call it a "hobby". I don't spend a lot of time at it and certainly don't obsess over it so not a "passion".

Today poker is nothing more than a hobby for me. But I do not rule out that in the future I will study the game more seriously.

Poker became my main income for some time, so the passion barrier has passed.

I would say hobby because I can think of a couple of other things that I like to do more than play poker.

gambling is fun, but I prefer winning to losing. When I play poker I tend to win. When I bet other things I tend to lose...

Poker

Both. I am very serious and committed to the game. I take bad beats personal, and I am taking names and righting them down.

I believe that poker should be your passion so that you can win, just like any other business, to be the best at it. So I can easily say that for me poker is a passion. I wish you to realize this and of course good hands :D
