It has happened to stop doing important things to play ... then I wondered what was wrong with me and put a brake! Les has passed something? Do not sleep, do not eat, do not go to work ....

I have no problem with poker. I'm not an avid gamer. I have no such problems. I sympathize with those who suffer from addiction any. It is necessary to adequately think and applies to your problem.

For me playing poker is important to me so it's not a problem and it fits well with my personality. Yes, there are outside distractions that want me to do something other than play poker, but I've told people that this is what I enjoy doing, so you go do you, and I will do me. Most of my family doesn't understand but there thinking is ancient so I just ignore them and continue to do what I love and enjoy. So no, playing poker is not a distraction, and I keep a schedule to make sure that everything I need to do throughout the day and week gets done.

If you have a chance, read The Mental Game of Poker. You can skip to the part about putting poker in a bubble, poker is poker and your life is your life. Every time you finish a session write down everything you feel, your mistakes, what needs to improve, the bad beats. Externalizing helps a lot, but instead of saying things to people that don't want to listen, write it down.

I my past, poker has caused many problems that I don't want to talk about because just like bad hands, I can now put them all behind me and go on to the next hand. There is nothing I can do about the past, so why should I think about it when it concerns poker. But for 3 or 4 years now, I've got deep into learning the game, and it has changed my game for the better. Now I live by myself, and I play poker anytime I want to, but that about 5 hours a day. GL to you

I have a pretty long experience from playing poker. (played for a couple of months 5 years ago maybe with play money, and now with real money the last 2 months). Sometimes I feel that I get ''addicted'', where I constantly play poker instead of doing other things. I sometimes also get angry and just go all in when I shouldn't. It isn't too often though, which is a good thing :).

When I opened this thread it had 6 replies, and 66 views.... Is it a sign of something even more evil?

If anything is keeping you from sleeping / eating, etc... it's a problem. I think you know that.

Personally the poker has been one of the most beautiful things that I knew and although it sounds strange is truth. It is a fascinating game and no matter against whom you play, if these prepared you can reach very far. Nobody can get limits, one itself puts the limits. Studying the game, overcome day after day are the steps to become a great player.

ANYWAY , HE NEVER LOST MONEY .. I NEVER get to that point BY LUCK

all modes gay careful not reach an extreme case ... many people lose everything ... even their loved ones for the game ... it is poker that is another game

you're a little aggressive and it was only a matter of debate .. not resolve my issues in a forum and if you pay attention 'm talking in past tense

The same addictive game that is a subject that you have overcome ... wanted to know the experiences ... always be overcome and not to extreme situations that do wrong ... I'm happy for you that you have overcome your past !!! Adelante friend !!! Hug from argentina !

Live life!!! Hugs from Argentina !!!

At the beginning I also faced these problems , I got too excited with poker , I was new , I was exploring and learning and playing everything many hours . So it affected my work hours , my sleep above all .
But as soon as my excitement was starting to fade , these problems were becoming less and less .
Now I have totally no problem at all , it's fun , I play when I have time and I enjoy it .:)

Thanks God, I have no any problems with poker. But I know many people who have. If poker is keeping you from working, personal life or another important things, it may be called a problem - and you should solve it if you don't want to lose everything.

Poker is taking too much time from me for sure. But on bright side, 90+% of people in my age are in same position with their jobs. At least poker pays better than around 99+% of those jobs.

Would love to get 7-figs done in next 5 years or so. Then could go back to "poker is just a hobby"-mode.

Haha, about me i can say that only takes from my time and sleep, sometimes money. Its normal to lose, but also the poker brings me recreation. Probably thats why im playing it. It gives pleasure, adrenaline, emotions and alot more.
It depends on a person who plays it, its not good that you dont do the important things that has to be done in the day and waste it in poker. But there are probably players like this. They have own heads and can take choices, even if they know its bad and still do it it doesent metter.
My opinion is that its bad thing to play poker instead of doing more important things and tasks. Who gonna quit his job to play poker? Who will lose the trust of friends and family?
I think no one strong thinking human could just put poker infront of important things. (im not talking about sleep and free time taken, cause all of us sacrifices their freetime and sleep haha )

Yes, for me poker became a problem . Takes time and sometimes money . If you do not play two or three days , it seems that something is missing in my life .

It seems to me, poker helps to concentrate, as well as helping to develop the seventh sense.
