Poker also has a habit of addiction like alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, playing in the casino and watching porn, but compared to all of the above, this is the most useful addiction, especially if you only play in freerolls without investing your money.

Not for me. You must know your limits and I am not only talking about money, no matter how much you earn, you need to rest your head and take care of other things in your life. There is a lot in the world besides poker. I still love this game !!:D:D

Personally i only found it addicting, and it wasn't even addicting but when I first started I really enjoyed it and was watching, reading, playing 24/7 but now it's just a hobby I like to do after my school a couple nights a week.

Certainly poker can be addictive. Even more so if the player has plenty of free time and is available to participate in several tournaments.

Yes definitely. But it's easier for me to control than the darn slot games! Biggest drain on my bankroll!:mad:

You have to control your game schedule with a schedule and apply discipline to avoid falling into gambling addiction.
If you continue with the problem, you should stay away from the game a bit and take a vacation to see how you feel and it produces a lot of anxiety because it has already created that you should seek professional help about your problem.

Poker is like a drug, once you start playing, you is impossible to stop.

For a long time it has become a habit to play poker in the evenings.

Yes, poker can be addicted. All cash games should be playing with moderation.

16 hours is a huge time. This is hard labor. Don't break your health.

I don't think so at all. I play a lot too, but I don’t consider myself an addict at all. Of course there can be such, but much less than say gambling games.
