Is Poker Addicting?

azgeda · Feb 21, 2021

I noticed that in the past few days I’ve been really wanting to play, but unfortunately my laptop is currently broken, in the mean time I study the game and watch streams. Do you play a lot and do feel the need to play?

vanish123 · Feb 21, 2021

if u ave a stable mind it s not!

noskilluk · Feb 21, 2021

It definitely can be and is something worth considering...

successlaw · Feb 21, 2021

Yes, for sure we can call poker an addiction.
It can be a good addiction if you have a successful career

franken222 · Feb 21, 2021

gambling, in any form, can be addictive.

This is my opinion, only, but if you play because you want to, I don't think there's a problem.

However: If you're losing sleep over it; betting more than what you can afford; playing to recover what you've lost, or feeling that you MUST play; you might want to take a second look at your situation.

Any game can be addictive! But it all depends on you
If you leave things aside, it matters to play, or bet more than you can, it would be an addiction

Yes poker is addicting

But I'd venture to say, it's a lot more harmless than a minion of other possible addictions. The only thing that gets hurt in this addiction is you wallet which can lead to financial trouble. But you're definitely not going to get a dui or land up in prison on a drug charge for this addiction.

honestly,yes,it is

Richardszabo · Feb 21, 2021

I don’t think poker is addictive at all. I play poker a lot, but I don’t think I’m addicted at all. Often I look forward to the end of the session

Much more dangerous addictions, more popular (betting, gambling) !

Poker is a game where it has its ups and downs. For most people it gets addicting when you keep on winning. :icon_sant

Addicting is an understatement. It leads many people to degenerate gambling.

bruno1234poker · Feb 21, 2021

It is just a addict if you lose importants moments to live only that.

poliaris747 · Feb 21, 2021

It all depends on how much time you already play, you probably recently joined poker, years will pass, and you will be a little calmer about it.

For some persons poker definitely can be addicting, specially if you use poker as a escape for some other problem.

FoxMS · Feb 22, 2021

I play only when I have free time and a good mood. For me, poker is just a hobby, but no more.

Artur22277 · Feb 22, 2021

For me poker is a passion but sometimes I manage to win some money

what does addicting mean? If you enjoy it and it is a passion, everything is ok. If you love your work, no one says you're an addict.

elJenio8 · Feb 22, 2021

I have been ill for a long time, addictions can be removed, but can come back thats why im here again lol

But yeah it is addictions, it has the adrenaline we need

neptun1914 · Feb 22, 2021

For some people poker can be addicting. There are players who have gambling in their blood and play poker the same way. If you follow good bankroll and time management you should be ok.

stank12345 · Feb 22, 2021

It is addicting but you have to control your spending and only play within your means

maroca06 · Feb 22, 2021

For me every type of card game is already an addiction.

mortimccarthy · Feb 22, 2021

It can be addicting but if you can set out some rules for yourself it can be easily controlled, bankroll management playing events within your bankroll, step away for a break when on tilt or chasing money, do not risk more than you can't afford and maybe take a break when you are no longer enjoying the game.

marianexbj · Feb 22, 2021

If it has happened to me from being anxious to play yes or yes and it is totally bad for oneself, you are not going to achieve good results that way, you have to be calm think well when is the best time or day to play, know how to divide between studying and playing is key.

myquickwit · Feb 22, 2021

Poker is highly addicting. Although I don't play it as much as I did when I was younger it is still very addicting. Any form of gambling is addicting.
