Good ramble Martinez. Yeah I've seen some of those qualities in myself. I'm American so I don't play too much on-line anymore but when I did, and when I was new to it I was totally obsessed. Strangely I kinda think you have to be to be good at poker, at least for a while. I'm still a serious student of the game but it's no longer an obsession, just a passion. There's a difference.

Sure, there's porn, video games, alcohol, shopping, second life, the list goes on. These things are not bad in themselves but like poker, they're the kind of things where you can lose yourself if you've got that kind of personality. Poker is a little different in that if you become good at it you could make some money but that's not realistic for most people and for the ones who are it's a long hard road to get there, and don't tell me that family life doesn't suffer along the way, at least a little. Benji, how many times have you had to tell someone you were too busy to meet up because you were actually approaching the money a 10 hour basketball tournament.

I understand what Martinez is saying and I congratulate him on his new life, new wife and forthcoming grandchild.
