I play several hours a day because I love playing poker, but if I go on vacation and don't have time to play, I can spend my time doing other things.
 
I can't say I'm addicted, but if I don't invest more money than I can afford, I can say I'm in control of the situation.
 
Easily addictive. When you lose one set, you will want to pay a price for the second, so you really need to calm down and control your funds.
 
I have found it very addictive but overtime I have become more in control over the levels I play and the amount I am investing although this does not always go perfectly to plan.

All the new variants are making more fed up with the game though, particularly bounty tournaments where the play often becomes more maniacal and people desperate to get their stacks in. Seems to move away from more solid play and people wanting to win the tournament.

Everything is addictive, in my case the answer is no. I need to live every day otherwise I don't feel, not even the feeling.

No, I don't have an addiction, but in general, the more I play, the faster my bankroll grows, so I always play whenever I have free time.

There is an opinion that in order to become a successful professional poker player, you need to immerse yourself in this game. After all, such success requires a huge investment of time, not to mention the fact that it is very hard work, at least from a mental and psychological point of view. For this reason, a person who is passionate about the game has a significantly higher chance of reaching his goal and not giving up halfway.If you read the blogs and interviews of various players who have achieved some success in poker, you will see that many of them are ardent fans of this game and even somewhat addicted to it.Personally, I don't have an addiction.

I agree. The meta is constantly changing. however, sometimes a break can let you have a different (and potentially profitable) perspective on the current meta strategies.
 
I realized that it can be an addiction and that's why I play tournaments for free and when I win a few cents, I play tournaments for money.
 
Nope . By all means no . I am not and I cannot be . I control it 100% . I play whenever I want , asuch I want , as much it worths playing .

I don't consider myself an addict, but I'm definitely a very gambling person. I am attracted to excitement. I have always been a gambler, I have been playing cards for money since childhood. I'm not addicted, but I have a great desire to play 🙂
 
I enjoy poker, but I don't think I'm 100 percent addicted because I don't play on a regular basis. I have a job, a family, and sometimes I just want to give my head, eyes, and brain a break from gaming.
 
It is addictive especially at younger age or if one doesn't have a particularily busy life...
 
All enjoyment can be addictive. The more dull life feels, the easier it is to get addicted to things in general.
Guess my life feels really dull.
 
I play poker online often, but I'm not addicted to it. I can control myself, and when I take a break, it's more enjoyable to go back to playing. My mind seems to be more open to logical reasoning after I stop playing for a while and then go back to playing. I think this is a healthier way for me.
