Well, I'm addicted to poker somehow, but not necessarily addicted to playing poker.
I'm not addicted to the business side of poker, I enjoy to play and watching poker, and ofcourse to read and talk about poker, cant forget it :D

How about you, are you addicted to poker?

I'm addicted to winning and improving...

I believe I know too much to stop ... It would have to be awfully terrible for me to cold turkey poker.

I agree that poker can be addictive and I can see how people get addicted to it. I take regular breaks from it and try and keep it in perspective with other things in life. Works for me.

I used to think I'm addicted because i was playing 5+ hours 7 days a week for months at a time. However I played under 10 hours total this past month because I was busy and got my first motorbike :). So I do not think I am addicted, just hadd nothing better to do.

I wouldn't say that I'm addicted to poker (although I may be), but I spend much of my spare time playing. It is also my job as I am a tournament director for a local bar league. So even when I am working I am involved with poker.

I think I may be a poker addict BUT luckily not a gambling addict so the money side of it is under control at least. You can't beat that feeling of starting a new game or tournament with all the possibilties of making that final table (like a new football season starting). Love it.

I think you need to define what you mean by "addicted".

I don't want to sound like a dick, but people here claiming they're "addicted" are likely not, at least by any generally accepted medical definition.

I play for free online somewhat often but I only played in a casino once. After a not so great first experience I was turned of poker all together for like a month.

idk, I enjoy the game and I enjoy thinking about it. Don't really have time to play everyday so I guess the only reason I wouldn't be addicted is due to not playing enough. XD
