I concur!
 
Also, I find it amusing to hear the comments about 12-step programs (which you obviously know nothing about from reading your comments) & yet you're dissing someone on their lack of experience with poker.
Bottom line (imo) if a person has a propensity towards addition then poker can definitely be something they would want to tread lightly on.  I'm in no way suggesting that poker is purely gambling but for sure it could be highly addictive to an addict & could also lead to gambling (as I've witnessed it happen to many, many people... & I'm older than 17-18 sitting in a classroom so I think I might have a teeny bit of experience).
 
I also don't doubt the speaker's experience with the poker pros he's met.  No doubt alot of them are degens. & alot are broke inspite of all the big wins.  One thing I tend to notice amongst the ones that I've come in contact with, they have some huge similiarities to addicts with other addictions.. in a big way (one, alot of them seem pretty f'd up, emotionally immature, egotistical with an inferiority complex & spiritually bankrupt... by no means 'all' of them... just 'alot' of the ones I've met personally).
