Is poker a hobby or passion for you?

[mushthebush]

Definitely not a hobby and passion is a rather broad term. As a general rule, everything that I do, I do it passionately and as close to a professional standard as possible or at least I target perfection. However, poker in my case, is work, hard work and looking forward to turning it into a full time job. And it's the first kind of work that I enjoy doing. I'm nowhere near a professional in this field, but I strive to become one.

Poker

I would say a passionate entertaining challenge., Because it is never the same results, you may be an early out in a tourney, or play into the money much later in a tourney. You really don't know how the cards will fall, which is intriguing and the reason I play.

It's an interesting distinction. I suppose the difference is in the degree to which your interest overrides other competing priorities. I love and respect the skill of the game, but I can't say it inspires passion, or at least passion should be reserved for more virtuous ambitions.

I will say it's a passion I want to improve my game and to be profitable long term

 

[COMIRRR]

I find myself in both variants

At first it was a hobby, but then it turned into an additional income.

Hello everyone, I recently created a topic about what a hobby or a way to make money, many answered that it was a hobby and now I want to ask, HOBBY OR PASSION?

For me, poker is a hobby, because it is not the main income and I am very far from the level where I will make a living playing poker! I like to play poker very much, but I can't call it a passion! Good luck at the tables!

I play from time to time, not that much like before but still I find poker an exciting game.

 

[Foxie12340]

I would love for it to help me make money but it’s just for fun for me since I’m not good at it lol

poker is most time s my hobby as im getting older

 

[Edgerik]

For me poker is a passion, because every day and with each new hand played, new strategies are learned.

 

[hilary antonik filho]

It's a hobby loaded with love, dedication, companionship and concentration, it's very difficult to translate what I feel about poker lately, I play 4 to 6 hours a day, it's not an addiction

 

[gustavofuentes2]

I see it as a hobby but making a little cash is always nice.

 

[MrPokerVerse]

It is more a low on the list hobby. Passion is gone and there many more things I'd rather do than poker.

 

[pavel1111111]

a little more of both , I like play a lot of poker, especially in CardsChat games

 

[rachelle2291]

Definitely a hobby. I still wish online backgammon hadn't went the way of the dodo bird. Much better game than poker but so much more stressful.

 

[venycyos]

For me it's passion, well spiced.

 

[Beanmanlu]

A lil of both i guess

 

[hsimonyan]

Poker is more of a hobby for me, playing poker you get pleasure, and if you're lucky you can even raise some money

 

[rdwr33]

for me it is a hobby with emotion and pleasure.

Poker is one of my income these days.

In search of retirement!

 

[theStarfish]

For me it is both! It is a hobby I am so passionate about. It is not a profession but I like to play and to learn about poker.

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

 

[roberto51]

A hobby that has become a passion.

 

[ebazynski]

Mostly a hobby, but visiting CC every day implies a degree of passion I guess.
