Poker- Dependency or Hobby?

[lyki67]

Both. But don't let that you have to much dependency on poker.

 

[Redman1902]

Basically, of course, a hobby. But there are always phases where it becomes more of a dependency. Then I usually try to get some distance from poker. After all, it is the most fun when it is played as a hobby.

deffo a hobby for me. i'm no where near skilled enough and still too much of a gambler to be dependant on it

For me, poker is a hobby. I am a disciplined and patient player so I have nothing to worry about. But players who can't control their emotions and don't follow bankroll management can become addicted to the game.

Hobby here, as I play to pass time and out of boredom.

What is poker for you? Dependency or hobby?

more like a hobby and a source of income.

 

[Lipki3]

For me, poker is a hobby. I can easily not play it for a week, maybe even a month. At the same time, I can play every day for several hours. It all depends on the mood and the availability of free time.

 

[TirariAchref]

Poker is just a hobby. I can have a break for weeks not playing.

 

[LOOPY]

Just a hobby for me. Mostly winter and bad weather days.

Poker is a hobby for me. I also read, paint and enjoy outdoor activities for hobbies so I make sure I'm conscious of how much time I'm spending on each, and if one is taking over my free time too much I try to balance it out more.

For me at the moment, after 13 years of playing, it's a hobby that sometimes pays off. In the beginning it was a constant search for victories and awards.

hobby with money to pay and play for more hobbies

 

[kkuk]

for someone, poker is a hobby, for someone a job, and for someone an addiction.I often observe players who play poker like roulette, with a bad hand they can go all in, I think that such players are also subject to addiction.

 

[kanycta99]

If poker becomes an addiction, stop playing it immediately.

 

[ppartizan2]

Its pretty worrysome if poker is an addiction.Actually,all sorts of gambling is.If you feel the urge to always play,for your own and your familys good,stop playing and just forget about it.
