Is poker a vice?

[LaNimmer]

Hello friend, greetings, my answer to your question is NO and I think the question you should ask is: can poker become a vice? Then I would say yes. since any activity that you do on a recurring basis could become a vice if there is no control. which could lead you to do uncontrolled things. If you feel like you can't get away from something even for a moment then you should seek help.

I know people that spend their days and nights on Facebook. They can never get enough of it. Is this a vice by your description?

I think there is no point in comparing these two things, because in sports betting you have no chance, because you are not playing against people, but against a company against which it is impossible to win in the long run, it is like a casino. But in poker you play against other living people and your winnings depend on your skills. Of course, there is gambling addiction in betting and poker, but in betting it is much more common.

Just like any sort of gambling, it is

 

[jose_saleh]

Yes it is, if you don't play it properly, don't let it consume your life

Depends what you wear when you are playing.

Hello, regarding my personal experience, I suffered from an addiction to betting and casino games. But with poker it wasn't like that, I was able to calmly accept my addictions and be objective with them, without having to pretend that I didn't have them, despite this, a lot of people told me things like “poker is the same thing”, “you're still addicted”. What I mean is that it is possible to be addicted to poker, but you don't have to be carried away by comments that don't understand the game and think that it's just a coincidence and out of ignorance they take it as one more casino game.

poker is like a knife can cut bread and hurt someone, it all depends on how we play it

It's not a vice as long as you can control yourself and only play in your free time, I think it becomes a vice when you lose a few nights of sleep playing intensely.

Do you consider poker a vice like sports betting?

There are probably people who think card games are a vice, but that's definitely not me. For me, poker is entertainment and a way to make extra money, so I personally don't care if someone considers it a vice or a virtue.

 

[M13A13]

It's not an addiction, as I haven't played poker for more than 15 days.

Hello, I think it's like everything, if we go too far or reach the point of not being aware and it is impacting your personal life, I think you have to reflect and try to think about what you are doing. in order to think and improve as a person and as a player. Greetings

I think that for some it is a vice, for some it is just a favorite game, and for some it is a profession. To each his own - choose!

poker is not an addiction, but it can become an addiction depending on the person, you have to learn to lose and keep a cool head otherwise you will always be losing money and depositing more

Hi
I don't see sports betting as a vice. I don't consider playing poker a vice. Gambling is created for entertainment, and for those people who can afford to pay for this entertainment. A vice is when a person plays with money that he cannot afford to spend, and here the question is not in poker or casino, but in a person who cannot control himself. Lack of patience and discipline is a vice.

 

[MANEJANO]

I see it more as the symptom of a disease, if you bet more than what you have allocated for entertainment you have a problem of vice

 

[Vitoeye]

I don't see it as a vice, as long as you can control the spending. I find it's good for my memory and logic, if anything.

In my case, my vice was slots.

Since I discovered poker, which for me is a game that doesn't just involve luck like in a casino, it was the game that helped calm my addiction.

Today it is already a source of income, because with study and practice one can have extra income in Tournaments or cash, which you will not get in the casino.

Greetings

I think poker is more of an entertainment than a flaw.
