There has never been a specific hobby. When I was younger, I sometimes went fishing, worked a lot in recent years and when I came home I just wanted to relax. When the free time began to appear, I started playing poker.

Truth is I also didn't expect that grinding for profits will take so much time. Disappointing, very.

You may be surprised, but even tiring standing at the stove can be turned into an exciting hobby.Even if you are one of those who are addicted to the computer and social networks, the love of computer technology can be turned to your own good. Instead of wasting time mindlessly monitoring the network, make it a habit to occasionally play a joint computer game, poker. Adrenaline released during such games will help to “Unload” the relationship a little.British psychologists, as a result of a survey of the population, found the most effective hobby for bringing family members closer together. Oddly enough, it turned out to be tourism. So go to a ski resort, seashore, mountains or an exotic country - a lot of vivid impressions and common joyful minutes will be provided to you for sure!

Heh, I also did some little fishing.

I really like fishing, but not eating river fish. And the sea coastline is couple of hours drive so I dropped the entire thing. Catch and release is fine, but not for me. Bit old school in that regard, you eat what you kill nothing wasted.

Anyway, yeah. Seems an odd mix though, fishing into poker lol

Before online poker (so back in 2003) I used to skateboard A LOT (I was a sponsored amateur skater).

Now, my other hobby that I enjoy is DISC GOLF! :):):):)

Also...I love reading.

So don't grind anymore. ;)

This was the first insight I had regarding online poker. The assumption that one must "grind" to win money is FALSE! :)

My hobby was in the small carpentry shop I have at home, restoring old furniture, doing all the wood work and painting.
But after I had covid 19 I put this activity aside due to back pain.
Now my only hobbies are poker, video games and gossiping on Cardschat.:ROFLMAO:
I have my job on the railroad, but that doesn't take up much of my time.
Below are some photos of restorations I did before covid.:)
