Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 6038163, member: 430261"] It all depends on the individual, Drugs, Alcohol, Gambling, everything and anything in life can become addictive if that is in your persona. I am I suppose addicted to playing poker, but not addicted to money, so I play for different reason's. Money comes and goes, and if you hold it in high esteem, you will get addicted to it and do anything to get it. but Poker does not have to be about money! Players, play for all kinds of reason's, I play for the thrill of the all-in situation, the chance to be number one, The Top Dog, it has nothing to do with money. This is perhaps why I prefer to play Tournament poker over Cash games. It has never been one of my driving ambitions to be rich, I have my Wife and Family and I am already rich beyond my dreams, so money has never been my driving force to play Poker. If you can get this kind of attitude to playing, Poker becomes fun and more of a hobby, rather than a means to escape the Rat Race. I play for the simple pleasure of the game and if I win cash, from free-rolls etc, I don't go mad and think I can do better than this and start raising my buy-ins to make more money, far from it. I stay within my limits so I can continue to play, when I want, and play for free even when the buy-in are all paid for by my winnings, Poker then becomes self financing and in my mind every game is a free-roll, Sure I like to raise my buy-ins occasionally, but not to win more money, but I am gradually raising the standard of players I play against. When the fun Stops, STOP! (it is that simple) [/QUOTE]
