[b]Do I Play Poker Every Day??[/b]

When I was first introduced to poker, I played everyday but that also included reading articles on how to  play, watching poker videos and watching poker tournaments on TV including signing up here at Cardschat.

I realized later on I was almost...no.. totally consumed trying to learn the proper way to play...if there is such a way... I finally had to figure out is this worth continuing??

I decided I was not really getting the hang of this game and I was also not able to control my anger when I lost to a bad beat. I was also gaining weight during this so called learning curve.

One day my wife mentioned she was looking at loosing weight and it was at that moment I also agreed to go along with her. It was the best decision I made. I lost 80 pounds and went from a size 44 to a size 36 and almost 2 years later I have maintained my size 36.

It was a lifestyle change commitment we made together. Now I play for recreation only. I also made a commitment not to spend any of my own hard earned money, so I just play the freerolls where I can and limit my playing time.

You know you are not addicted to the game when you can leave in the middle of a game..which I have done many times now.
