Poker can be considered work. If you actually truly learn to play it, it teaches you a lot about people, emotions, thinking ahead several steps, probability, and risk and reward.

Back then poker was way less developed though. Modern constructive approach is relatively a recent phenomenon.

Honestly I consider my running and other forms of exercise as "work", even when they're fun.

Exercise maintains physical health, which IMO is more important than any amount of career success.
