Like all gambling games, I think that it can become addictive. Any game that involves investing or making money can lock you in a vicious cycle if you're not careful enough. Regards.

If you have an addicted personality, anything can be addicting. Alcohol, drugs, sex and etc. So yes for some folks it can be. I'm pretty sure I am, but not to the point of losing money. Just playing everyday.

Well, you are right. I also love and still play poker, but addiction is degrees, there are addicts who do not know that they are addicted, a person is by nature an addict, anyone can easily become addicted, such as addiction to eating a lot, reading, social networking or video games ...

Yes maybe. Like any other activity. But the main thing is to play wisely and by bankroll.:)

Yes, my friend, in recent years I am no longer what I used to be. Play at set times and respect the rules of bankroll , the most important thing is to find some poker cash anytime I want to play

Hello.
I think disciplined players will never be addicted to the game. Although, it all depends on the character, willpower, and goals of each individual.

Well done, because everyone is responsible for their behavior, so we can say poker addiction only applies to an irresponsible and A person with a random mindset

In my opinion, poker is a gamble. I believe that any gambling can be addictive. But personally I play when I have a good mood, free time, and when there are good freerolls, in particular freerolls of our community.

100% It can be addicting, if people say it isn't they are lying in my personal opinion.
