To some extent, there really is an addiction to poker. But I can still stop...

You keep your toothbrush and razor near your computer so you don't have to miss a single hand. It's wonderful that your passion for poker has not affected your desire to look good. And your brain works well enough to multi-task at the same time, which is an example of a poker addiction. Your wife calls you to dinner while you sit and play the game. You yell back at her: wrap me up with you, dear - this is also an addiction.

Because of playing poker, I don't consider myself a gambler and no one in my family thinks so. I have never experienced problems with gambling addiction.

Funny, I used to feel a bit of shame everytime I started to play Poker even if I didn't abuse that. I wasn't gambling away my savings or anything.. yet I still felt somewhat guilty. Probably because it's one of those things that can get you hooked and people who don't play at all don't really understand it as a pastime activity.

I play when I want. It's a hobby until now. I don't let it be an addiction. Although it was at the past.

Any activity that brings pleasure is an addiction. So if you play poker and you enjoy it, it's an addiction. It's just that any addiction can be either strong or weak.

it seems to me that if you do something every day, for example, play a tournament, then it's an addiction and means I'm addicted, it hasn't reached the point of spending money savings yet and I hope it won't,:) but to a certain extent it's an addiction

To be honest, I'm sorry, I don't consider myself addicted to poker, in fact I play poker for fun, there are some moments where I play a lot, but in general I use poker as a way to pass the time after work, I still don't consider that poker is an addiction for me, because it doesn't consume me as much time as other players who are professionals and invest hours in poker.

I play quite a lot of poker but I also have months where I don't feel like playing poker at all. Self control is the most important thing in life and a constant struggle. anything extreme is bad. :)

I think that at the beginning I did have problems because I did not manage a game schedule, but later I organized myself and I plan the game hours to have time for everything
