Is online poker a hobby?

[Sebarios59]

It is a very nice hobby but if you can get some welcome return it is.

 

[magnetoak47]

Yes, it always start as a hobby but can become a great source of money! As long you keep your bankroll alive. To earn money you should learn how to manage it first

I treat it like a hobby and still try and improve on things after I'm out of a tournament or cash game. I don't mind it being a hobby for me.

 

[FIERROS]

Hobby for me but I expect to make a little money.

Right now it's a hobby but if I keep working my way up on those freeroll venom tickets it's going to turn into a dream come true.

 

[canabero]

Life is a hobby

 

[cristhian017]

For me it is a hobby but extra money is always good

 

[Claudiunm]

For me, it's a hobby, because it's impossible to earn money on freerolls.

LoL
I agree with you. In freerolls, players act like suicidal maniacs! Then it becomes a lottery. But even in this situation we can adapt our games. I have been earning an average of 18 cents in freerolls with considerable frequency. A good way to build a solid bankroll. Not to mention the possibility of winning the freeroll lottery. Now self-control is enough to stop throwing those 18 cents away and wait to accumulate that solid bankroll that I talked about.
Responding to the topic, I think online poker is a hobby where you try to make money. But not everyone has the discipline for the second case.

For it’s a profitable hobby cause at same time I enjoyed myself and can make money.

 

[Djon25]

Earning is not large, in addition to work.

 

[jcxmendes]

For me it is a hobby, but I hope that sometime it will also become a source of income!

Playing poker can be compared with smoking weed . It's a lifestyle, can be fun but addictive and destructive if you cant control your behavior.
You should call a hobby playing table tennis or surfing

 

[Nicolasd07]

For now I take it as a hobby and I hope it continues like this ... but really when you win a big prize I ask myself is it really a hobby or would I have to spend more hours to earn more. I really ask myself once or twice a week.
I still didn't make any decisions

 

[Mohamed48]

As long as you know why you are playing, that is the correct answer. We know very well that the hobby leads to the acquisition of skills and great knowledge and is not intended to achieve profit, but rather fun, and therefore you play for fun or for profit. I await your answer?

 

[Herkstwin]

I consider online poker (and live poker) a form of entertainment, with the possibility of winning in the long run.
As a senior citizen, I no longer rely on a job of any kind for income. I manage my money prudently so that I can afford my lifestyle. Entertainment dollars go towards my hobbies and pastimes, including live and online poker.
When we meet on the virtual poker table, know that I am there for the entertainment value of the activity, but I am doing my best to take YOUR chips from you.

 

[Sinqui3526]

I think it depends on each person, for me it is a hobby but it is also a way to learn a little more about this beautiful game every day. I play online poker to improve myself and someday be able to do it live and professionally, although I still need a lot of study and time to do it.

 

[Bleeis]

For me it is a hobby but at the same time I want to work hard and learn to go far

 

[Chicungulla]

yes for now if a hobby but with this pandemic it is becoming a job but it is necessary to dedicate more to study and concentration

 

[geitenkamper]

yes, its my hobby, but totally lost control of it.
Takes soo many hours away from me, but i dont call it sports....

 

[fourroses]

hello
for me is all forms of playing ,I play althogh Backgammon online ,a hobby but I would prefer to play with players life

 

[meser09]

Yes, for now if a hobby, but with this pandemic it is becoming like a job!

 

[LukasynoACAB]

Yes its a hobby which sometimes give me some profits 😁

 

[Deedgee]

Well, the best definition of a hobby is an activity that takes more from you, specifically in terms of money and time, than it gives back. This certainly applies to poker, for the vast majority of players.

 

[Nicely]

For me its a hobby which takes half of my life, but never hit big wins yet, maybe someday.

 

[tamara822]

I think poker is my hobby. I only play online. I’ve never played live tournaments. It's perfectly ok for me to play only online. And if that hobby brings me something more than pleasure, such as money, it's just fantastic.
