For me poker is a hobby. Fortunately, not dependence.

Poker is a long term game

There will be wins and losses always with everything in life. but if you play poker for a living you need to understand its a long term game and have a proper bank roll...as your job! ( job dependancy).! hopefully going up. but if not your just playing of fun! A:deal: fun hobby!

Since I play the poker during my journey to work, it is more-less hobby to kill the time :)

It's a hobby for me. Especially during the winter months when there isn't many exciting things to do. I like the excitement of playing, but I can go 6 months or more without playing and barely miss it.

What is poker for you? Dependency or hobby?


First of all, it's a chance to break into a better life! Although nothing prevents poker from being both addictive and hobby and earnings at the same time! To some extent, all the options are correct! I would compare poker with my girlfriend: she is also a hobby and passion and dependence for me))

Poker for me a hobby, is a hobby, is something I like to do when I have nothing to do to Distract me and have fun for a while, I think I would never see it as a dependence because in poker sometimes it is lost or Wins and If you do not produce the necessary weekly or monthly to cover your expenses as you would do? You have to be careful with that, you have to know how to differentiate between dependence or hobby and when you as a person is clear which of the two is your situation then you can enjoy what you do.

Hobby. However, there's certainly a thinly veiled line dividing hobby and dependency. It's highly stimulating, so it could certainly turn into an addiction for me. At this point, it hasn't consumed my life.

I play poker for laughs and enjoyment. Not anywhere near a good enough player to do it for a living.

I am playing poker on and off for 7 years. When i start to play more than five hours a day its time for break. When i am playing its a job for me so i try to be the best i can. In a period of playing i live from playing poker. In my country you can make living from playing small stake tournaments and mikro stake.

Starts as a hobby, can turn into something else.

If the hobby becomes work, then it becomes addiction.

Some people watch a lot of TV, or go out to eat frequently. I prefer to play poker, if my family responsibilities are done and I have gotten in my exercise for the day.
