[b]Dark side[/b]

Phone Gambler's Anonymous and ask them if it would be OK for you to come to a meeting and just listen from a dark corner. After a couple of hours of listening to their stomach-churning stories I guarantee you will know a lot more about the power of compulsive gambling than you do now. If you are truly powerless over gambling, you are in a heap of trouble - it's just as bad as being a junkie or a crack-head.

Personally, I don't see poker as being in the same category as roulette, blackjack, and slot machines, but every now and then I'll catch myself going all-in when I shouldn't have, and I know that I've just given into the "dark side" for a moment, and I give my head a good shake. The rest of the time, I don't really see poker as "gambling". Personally, I think they should teach poker to kids in school. I wish I'd known all this stuff when I was on the way up...

This is my first post. Apologies in advance if I screw it up...:)
