I feel the opposite way about poker than you do. I only play for profit and I'm not attracted to poker. I'm playing with the goal of winning money without risk. So I'm playing freerolls. If I had enough money I wouldn't play.

I'm not saying I'm addicted because addiction is something that's out of your control, you become dependent on it. For me, poker is fun, a game that I really like to play, but I can run out of playing without a problem.

addiction, I can tell you that playing poker every day can be a sign of a compulsive gambling problem. If you are concerned about your behavior, I recommend that you seek professional help. There are many resources available to help you overcome gambling addiction.
Take a break, for the sake of your family.

Yes, I play every day as I love the game so you could say I am addicted, but I could certainly stop if necessary.

At the very beginning of the poker game, I was confused by these signs of addiction, now I understand that it is more a desire to win. now there is no addiction, if there is time and opportunity, then you can play.

Addiction is not good in any way. I only play two or three times a week and I feel good that way, even on one occasion I didn't play for 2 months and I didn't need to

My friend îs what you are saying îs true, then you really have a problem, sorry for you... Try to take a few days off and enjoy what îs real, go to a City break or to the șea or Mountain.. Dont know what you have around you, but just go and disconnected from poker for a while 😁🤙

Here îs a perfect example for you and you should do... Personaly i cut off my poker to only a few hours în the weekends, but i presume that îs to hard for you to do... But still try to take little break from time to time 🤙

I am so addicted to poker , I have to play everyday to feel good , is it the same for you ?
I've been playing poker for over 12 years, and poker has always been a pastime for me, a hobby, nothing more. There was a period in my life when I had problems with my job, and in those difficult times, my hobby helped me out a lot, in fact, it helped me pay the bills. But I can't talk about addiction for sure.

Buddy, being Addicted to money is like saying fish are addicted to water, understand?
This example shows that I am not addicted of poker, but I am addicted of money. What don't you understand? :unsure:
Also to be paid per week not to gamble, isn’t that just called a Job?

Partially, I never played to feel good, I played to make money, I saw poker as a second income or profession. The big problem is that online poker seems rigged, in tournaments you can even have good initial or final results, but when you notice your progress the machine changes the table for you, and luck also goes along with it, and nothing goes right, that's sign of pure manipulation. Another thing that occurs in the online environment is artificial intelligence, note that there will be players who will always win, regardless of strategy or luck, for example, when you receive a high pair, or a good connector, you raise or go all in and the other simply with a speculative card enters the play and the opening and will have won with non-playable cards, remember you took all the precautions to remove the bad luck, raising and all in, and the player didn't even leave the play, this is intelligence artificial and the bank's way of stealing in broad daylight.

No, it's not called “job”. I would call it an “additional source of income”. Then I would have more free time and could do more freelance work and allocate more time, for example, to watch a good movie with a beer or play 1-2 hours in a computer game. :cool:

In general - Yes, I am used to poker. But I am strong, if I can't win for a long time, I can stop.

Hi :)
I want to play every day, but I definitely don't have to. I play in the evenings for fun, so I play when I have free time and a good mood.

Not at all lately. I had a period when I might have been addicted.
But it never caused a problem if I didn't have a chance to play poker for 1-2 weeks.

Nope, I love to play poker, but I'm not obsessed with the desire to play it all the time. :)

It can feel addictive sometimes if you play day after day. It is important to do other things in your life and to get outdoors. You need a balance, don’t spend your whole life playing poker.

I used to be addicted to the game, but since the Lockdowns finished I have found it very hard to get interested in it again. I played a weekly Live game at my local Pub and really enjoyed the crack with the Lads, But when Covid struck I was limited to On-line Poker and I just got bored with it. I just cannot find the passion I once had! :( :(
