Most hobbies cost people money. That you might have a hobby that is +EV (even if it's only $0.10/hour) already makes your hobby far more financially worth while than other options.
To put it another way, there are people who have worked their way up to being world class at whatever hobby they've picked up, but it probably cost them a lot more than time and effort to get there. (Most people have hobbies they suck at, but still enjoy it despite their suckiness.)
Play the best that you can. Learn as much as you can with the resources (time/mental effort) that's available to you. Enjoy what you choose to do with your free time.
