Poker is evil

[DikyAV]

gambling is not the most useful pastime
It can be equated with alcohol and drugs. Habituation guaranteed. Whether you can restrain yourself is up to you.

 

[Alex Sentsov]

If you can't control yourself, then yes.

 

[whitetailbuck10]

Like all things in life, if used in moderation there is nothing wrong with poker, alcohol or drugs. But like you say....... can you restrain yourself from not abusing any of them?

 

[navicula]

Money management is very important, so we can control ourselves to play. And measure the limits of our ability to play. Good luck!

^what he said!

As long as you bet money that you can lose, everything is in the green, I would say.
Poker is not all about luck. There you should rather play roulette… With the right knowledge, you can be profitable over long stretches if you know your limits and have good bankroll management. Everything in moderation is the keyword here.

It's important to play responsibly, set limits, avoid playing when you're tired, for example, balance the game with other activities and never use the money you need for important things like food, rent, bills or education.

Fortunately for me, I'm not gambling.

I just made a post about an issue that can help you see the other side, perhaps more correct and coherent.

Have you ever measured how much you can get away from playing poker? I have done it myself and I have achieved great control of my game and discipline, I can go weeks or even months without playing poker, so we can conclude that poker is not addictive, addiction is more associated with the...

Well if you'd rely only on free bets, free spins and free tickets (and whatever other free stuff) then technically you shouldn't have no problems lol ...

 

[fernandofcp]

I see poker as a sport of the mind and not a game. For everything in life there must be due control, especially mental.

 

[Cooking]

Yes, gambling can be an addiction like alcohol and drugs. If a player don't have control of his limits it can be evil. Poker should be fun, if it's not anymore, maybe it's time to find another pastime.

It depends what games you're talking about. How are you going to compare a mental game with drugs and alcohol? Not all games have the same purpose, unless it is the game of Russian roulette, which is a game where your life is in danger, the same thing happens with drugs and alcohol, which is another way of taking your life, but slowly. That's what drugs and alcohol do and I don't think that Poker and other healthier games have the same effects, rather, what they do is benefit physical and mental health and I don't think they are as dangerous as drugs and alcohol.

poker is mean and cruel, but it always rewards every player.

Can’t disagree mostly. Like alcohol, some drugs, smoking and even gun play - gambling is accepted as an “adult” activity. “Adult” means it’s potentially addictive and/or dangerous.

 

[Danieleli]

how could a game be evil.. we fight our own battles.. poker is great for the mind and we can achieve really good results working hard on it.
dont know how still today there are people who believe its all about luck

 

[Bluffzone68]

Hey
No hard feelings, but to me I don’t consider Poker as Gambling, rather a sport.

Gambling is betting money on purely Chance.

Poker is more a skill.

When I joined Cardschat I thought I knew to play poker, but I would not advance much in tournaments.

Fast forward to today I play far better than then.

I have developed so much skills from this forum.

So Poker is definitely not on the list of EVILS

It depends on what you consider gambling is.

 

[pipayura]

I think that from some part this is correct, and from some part it is not. It depends on who perceives it and on the person himself. There is no doubt that there should be a measure in everything.

 

[pavel1111111]

well , if you can't control yourself then stop playing , it is easy

 

[dreamer13]

Often poker is called evil. Even professional players are of this opinion. There are simply people who do not know how to control themselves, their emotions and nerves, and their incontinence results in aggression and irritability.

 

[German629]

Poker is Evil?!. Xm, the strange claim... But, as they say, to Each his own!

 

[mtmigmike]

I am not addicted to gambling, I can gamble whenever I want, but if someone has an addiction, it's bad, it's like a drug.

 

[alabos]

Ils not just the gambling but ita the game too........for ne playing poker its very good game.......juste the game is OK nonw the gambling you have to control it

 

[hilary antonik filho]

I don't consider poker as a bad thing, but a good distraction and a very good hobby to relieve stress, it's just a matter of knowing how to dose and self-control
