Pokers impact on my life?  I take more naps then I used to..  I would love to be one of the guys who grind it out and make a living at doing this.  I'd also love to.. hit the lottery.  Neither one seems likely to happen.  Do I like poker? Absolutely.. I also like fishing and golf.  All three are hobbies that make life more enjoyable to me.. and all three cost me money.

I work on my fishing skills.. I work on my golf game and I work on my poker playing..  All three have something in common, I don't see myself winning any major tournaments in any of them.

Health wise none of the three are hurting me, none of the three are causing any problems.

With that being said I do think playing poker would have the biggest chance of upsetting peoples lives.  The hours that could be spent daily could easily have a negative impact on your health(sitting long periods) and your wallet.

An example on the impact on your wallet would be something like.  Missing work for a tournament. "I did ok.. ended up going out on the bubble.. but I'll get them next time."

So didn't win any money..  it cost money to enter the tournament, and I lost out on 240 bucks I would have made at work.  Rinse and repeat. Yeah, without self control one shouldn't play poker.. (man this response is such a downer to write)

Back to the freerolls..  they don't effect me quite so much..
