Do you consider poker a hobby or a job?

[Bawse]

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.

At the moment, I consider it a hobby. I play it because I want to have fun and that's all. Whether I am using money to play or just playing without staking much, the feeling is still the same.

Even though I consider poker a hobby, I do dream about playing high stakes at a professional level someday. I think I have the skills to do it, especially since I’ve been able to dominate the lower stakes.
