I can only play poker when my kids are asleep as my kids mean more to me than any money! Soon as they are asleep I can play! I don't care if the misses don't like it as I don't like the misses lol

Poker helped me to be more calm thinking, ignoring some situations that are not very good.

For me it has never affected my social or family life, we must always separate things and keep the focus on family and work, many people lose it when they head in games, end up losing everything, their money, their work and finally their family

Quite accurately I can say that at the beginning of my poker career, he had a very disastrous effect on my social life. Including I stopped talking with many friends and acquaintances because of the lack of time and the fact that they did not support my hobby. Now, after many years, I changed my mind about poker and my life has stabilized, but unfortunately I can not return the lost time.

My life is not affected. What happens to the other I don't know.

I think the effects are both because our relationships are changing away from some people, but creating new ties with those who relate to poker. Personally, poker and its environment came to my life at a critical moment, helping me and serving as support, meeting many new friends.

Its seems to be like this:
I care less about spending time with friends and people in general.
I spend more money on my Stuff.

Lately i stopped played and went to social parties, but still reading some poker books. Since i'm new here i dont have much to say but the truth relies on the condition if you are organized you can maintain both health.

Interest Ask. How to see, on the one hand you are busy playing the game, with the other winning an enjoyable deal.

Poker doesn't affect my social life, poker affects my free time.

Best answer from my point of you as well! Poker is a fantastic game but if someone is addicted to it then many more problems may occur! If you have the option to do an activity or go out withsome friends or some coworkers and you prefer play online that may be a bad indication!

I'm a guy who likes to stay at home, so it does not change much from day to day. I sometimes go on the court of the condominium to play basketball, and do bodybuilding.

Definitely has a negative impact on my social life. When I was married, I spent way too much time with my laptop playing poker in hopes to help support my wife an I. I never did get that big win, and I think it affected our relationship. She never complained too much but I knew she didn't approve.
Now that I'm single (No, not a break up... cancer) I got the poker bug again after about a 5 year break and am playing regularly again. I'm by myself now, so I can spend more time playing and learning, with hopes to finally break through and get that big payoff.

Poker is my social life and free time. When I have money I end up at the race track or slot machine rooms. So I find poker a slower way to lose my money.

I'ts all about how much you let your passion for poker affect your life and your family, is more an attitude , you got to have the strength to let it go when it's time to do, it may be a patological disorder that you can't control, that's when professional assistance is required, yust don let the poker take over your lifa, depends on you...
