Message: [QUOTE="mushthebush, post: 6412919, member: 458961"] Addiction is very pejorative and it refers to something that you do when you shouldn't do it or when its effects are bad for you or your health, including mental health. I see poker as a profession not a drug and I treat it as such. Poker is not a problem for me because I train to be a professional. I could stop playing it but I see no point. On the other hand, I have never lost money playing poker. I don't mean to say that I don't lose sometimes, but overall I have only gone up and never lost any personal money as in everything I have ever deposited, I have already withdrawn amd even more on top of that. I am addicted to my wife, though. I can happily live without poker and earn money from many other activities, but would not enjoy everything as much without her. [/QUOTE]
