Addicts including gambling all have a step programme to work by. They kind of get brainwashed by it all. I know people who are in NA (narcotics anonymous) and AA (Alcoholic anonymous) and they have a 12 step programme to abide by.

With the NA - they can't lapse to any sort of drug and will rant on that any drug is the same in "addiction" wise and a lapse means a full recovery of the programme. The same applies to AA.

I don't know much about GA but I assume ANY sort of game that requires you to to wager would be a re lapse in his programme therefore poker will be classed as gambling to him.

I woulden't try to let it effect it even though I can understand how wound up you got with what he said, I think I'd of give him a piece of my mind and said something along the lines of "Look, just because you coulden't gamble effectively and never actually had any experience in poker to know if it's a skill game or not, no longer wish to listen to your rubbish that you're spouting about your 12 step programme."

He really has no idea what he is talking about, neither does you teacher for agreeing about poker being all luck. It amazes me how he thinks everyone will become broke, did you not point out Iveys,duurs and even doyle brunson and say to him this guy has been playing like 100 years and is a multimillionaire, I wonder what his response would of been.

He seems bitter towards anyone who plays any sort of gambling because he can't control his own emotions and goes stupid and plays stupid.
