Poker is a hobby for me, but I also have big dreams and plans for my future in poker. I’m satisfied with playing poker and earning a side income.

I don’t want to be a full-time poker player. I enjoy playing a couple of games per day without forcing myself to play when I’m not in the mood. It helps me enjoy the game more, and I believe when you’re having fun, you play better, which usually leads to winning.

How about you, do you see poker as a job or a hobby?
 
It is a hobby for me, never thought about becoming a professional player
 
It is a hobby for me, I have never considered playing as a profession. It has a lot of risk for being a profession
 
I play poker and casino games for entertainment. It feels good to win money but since i play as hobby what actually matters is the experience. I don't think I would be able to pick poker as a job, even if I was very good at it.
 
Yes, it is! Because if you start depending on poker as your primary income, a lot of pressure will set in. Me, I treat it like side hustle, any time I win, it's like a bonus. Peace of mind is better than forcing yourself to grind when your head is not even settled to do so.
