For me, poker is not a profession. And probably I will never become a professional. But this great game always brings me joy and satisfaction, and that's more than enough to keep playing :)

I like this excitement,and thinking how to play in the given moment.I just like the no limit holdem,and a little bit the spin and go. I don't interesting to the more type of poker. I like the no limit holdem's logic.Plus I play,because I'd like to win 300-400$,that I'm able to be betting for football.

Poker is one of the ways for me to make money. But I play mostly freerolls. I don't invest real money (I don't do rebuys and add-ons as a matter of principle). But it is easier for me to play those tournaments where rebuys and add-ons are not provided. There I feel a moral advantage over the others and do not feel the discomfort when, for example, fish makes 10 rebuys in a freeroll and after each rebuy goes all-in with conditional "73". :geek::ninja:

It's a hobby for me but serious hobby! It doesn't hurt that your hobby can make you some money as well. I play everyday and often study and read to improve my game. I'll never be a pro as that life would be stressful and maybe even take the fun out of it for me (and would never be good enough as I am old and cannot think or do the math fast enough for online poker).

I play poker because I love the sport and because I'm becoming a professional, and I'm doing my best to reach my goals.

I play poker because I love playing games with other people.

I love competition, probably because I was an athlete for 15 years.

Rivalry, competition, I love it.

Poker is a great game, but you have to be a mature, financially and morally sound person. Otherwise you can lose your life.

For me, poker is entertainment. I play because it's interesting, fun and cool. Poker brings me pleasure and distracts me from everyday tasks.

Right now I play recreationally, I have another job. But I do think that it is something that I would like to dedicate myself to 100%. But it depends on many things for that. Like economic stability and a good bankroll.

In the first place it is a hobby. I never play with big money. It's a passion for me, that's how I spend my free time. Of course, if you manage to win at least a couple of hundred euros a month, then for me this is already a great result.

I started playing poker because I was just bored. And now poker has become my favorite hobby. I would like to make poker my profession, but I am afraid that I will not be able to be persistent enough to reach a professional level of play.

I have been playing card games since I was a kid, literally since I was a kid. I played cards before I went to school :)
I started playing poker about 4-5 years ago and since then poker has become my favorite card game. I play for fun and positive emotions that I always get during the game.

I play poker for fun, for now it's a hobby for me, but in the future I would like to become a professional and make a living playing poker. This sport gives me adrenaline, emotions, and sometimes money. I play poker because this game helps me develop thinking, willpower and knowledge of psychology. Poker helps me take my mind off problems if I have them. I don't spend a lot of time on this hobby, sometimes I play 3-4 hours a day, and sometimes I don't play for several weeks.
