What is poker for you? Dependency or hobby?

Poker is a game that makes you think more of a hobby than dependence

For me it is more pastime, rather than a hobby. Although as entertainment is little to say. It is also a way to earn something.

For me, poker is a job

I would not say that my hobby rather play for fun.

Look, it's difficult for someone to assume dependency.

They will usually talk whenever they are in control of the situation.

I confess that not knowing how to stop at some moments made me lose a lot.

I play every day but I'm not dependent, I just like to play

Breaking even after 100k hands in cash game can be considered outstanding enough.Until you got lucky and score major mtts win,poker should be consider as an hobby.

IMHO..

It is pleasant to play of course to me. But after all there is a wish to believe that this hobby but not dependence :закатывать глаза:

For somebody who has other Hobbies and he's not fixated on the poker is a hobby. For those who are fixated on poker and this maybe affects other family members and it is the dependent person who needs help.

I treat poker as a job, and all the time and try to improve their game,

Now I am dependent on a hobby! I need to play at least a couple of hands-on the day!

For me, poker is a hobby, but sometimes I am so fond of, that's more like a relationship)

For me it started only as a hobby, but I believe that today I have poker as something of daily life and that brings me joy, practically a dependency.

The difference between hobby and dependence sometimes is invisible

For me poker is a opportunity with benefit and pleasure to spend your free time.I can do without the games...

I play poker as a hobby. I don’t care too much if I win or lose ; I prefer winning to losing, but it’s not the end of the world if I lose few dollars in a week.

I try to take it as a hobby, if it becomes a dependency or addiction I think I would not enjoy it I would suffer it and would not want to get there

For me it's just hobby and i'm treating it only as fun.

Poker is definitely a hobby for me but if it starts paying out large than I might take a break from working and take a few trips and enjoy myself for awhile.

For me it's a hobby for now. I'm trying to make it work. As for dependence I do not think so, because I can not play poker for long without any kind of reaction or abstinence.

Poker is a hobby for me

A hobby that i hope it become my job

I wanted it to become a hobby but it gets boring live. You become too sedative sitting there for hours. So, now I play for fun.

Once it became so boring that the thought of playing poker at the casino made me puke. Believe me.

After that, took a 3 month break and only play once in a week/couple of weeks.

It's more like a hobby, I like to come home and play a few games before studying

I srsly want this game to support more on improving skills such as decisions making, assets management and opportunity costs =), so yeah that means something in my life.

for me it´s a hobby, few times i play more, But I can be without playing poker

For me it's a hobby until it becomes profitable enough to call it something else.

Poker became a hobby as play continued and entertainment also

You must necessarily find middle line, not to jump from one side to the other.

I started as a hobby and now it's an extra money entry

hobbies, along with several other card and nearly card games, Such as Magic: the Gathering, preferans, bridge...

He started playing poker about four years ago as a hobby. Later I thought, why not earn poker. And abruptly began to play. I played minus, until he realized that the win could only professional players and beginners to get results, you need to really work hard and constantly work on the game and errors. Now, poker became my hobby that brings me pleasure and relaxation.: D: D: D

When I was learning to play, I eat, slept, and breathed poker. It's a fun game, but it's nothing that I want to build an unhealthy dependence to. My father gambled away multiple millions of dollars when I was a kid, and we lost our house, business, and caused my parents to get a divorce. Granted that's an extreme case, I see how it could happen. I try to distance myself from getting too attached. It's fun as hell though

It's just a hobby for me, I am not good enough to play at a consistent level and I am too focused on other things in life to play a lot. I prefer to study math.

Definitely, if you are good in the game the results obtained will make the Poker step by step a dependence.

Do you miss playing poker? How often do you play? Do you consider poker a vice ?, I miss playing poker, I play every day and I think poker is a very tasty addiction.

I usually play every day. Poker can be a vice, it depends on your approach.
