This point was brought up recently in another post.

Why is it that people with problems assume that everyone else in the world has the same problem?

Its like an alcoholic preaching the dangers of alcohol.  True, alcoholism is a serious problem.. but most people who enjoy a drink are not alcoholics.

The same goes for gambling, 95% of people who gamble do not end up with gambling debts.

The irony is that the person with the gambling problem (he can get himself into serious debt) is trying to warn everyone else of the dangers, whilst continuing to play a game that could potentially get him back into debt!

OP has proven himself to be a degenerate gambler.. but now he is winning at poker, he dosent see it as a potentially dangerous situation.

This would be akin to an alcoholic landing a job as a beer taster.. OK he makes money from it.. but he is still partaking in an activity that he cant be 100% sure wont lead him down the wrong path again.

The idea that he has learned from his experences is absurd, because adiction causes illogical behaviour, so as long as he wins, he remains logical and has no problem.. put some llosses in there and suddenly that illogical behaviour comes to the forefront again.
