At some point in your life, due to poker, have you ended up in a bad life, debts, loans, or have you been left without any dollars? And that has affected you very seriously in your personal life, tell me your case!

This never happened to me, First of all only gamble with money you can afford to lose always follow this rule. and playing poker daily and all the time this sure will affect the time that you should have it with your family and friends, and this happened to me before but now i do manage my time.

Is poker harmful no if you're friends with your head and you're not a gambler, poker won't harm you just need to be able to hold on at the right time and not play with the money you can't afford to lose. If you stick to this scenario, poker won't be bad for you I play with money I can afford to lose

I haven't personally faced financial troubles due to poker, but it can be challenging if not approached responsibly. It's like setting spending limits, understanding bankroll management for different games, and avoiding emotional reactions, which can lead to poor decisions. Poker should be enjoyable, but don't risk your financial stability. 🃏💰😅

Hello, when you start it's like you want to play all day and that affects the interpersonal relationship with family and friends, so I think that happened to me at the beginning when I started playing, today I am playing respecting the times for family and friends . Regarding money, I never spent more than I could lose, I even played with the money I won in the CC freerolls, it is a rule that you must follow not to bet more than what you have, the management of bank rolls is also important to be able to keep playing. greetings

I understand that Poker in itself is not harmful. People who get hurt by Poker tend to get hurt by something. If it's not Poker it will be something else. Poker is supposed to be fun, but everything in life to be fun must be enjoyed with self control.

In my opinion, no. The problem isn't poker, it's people who already have an addiction problem.

If you don't play poker, you will lose money on bets, making excessive purchases, etc.

People have to become aware and try to improve. If it is not possible alone, with the help of a professional.

Poker is not and never will be a problem.

Hi, if you don’t have control in your emotions and your life will be harmful and the best choice is take a break or stop to play.

I've never had a problem playing poker. Obviously, players who play for credit money are simply addicted and need the help of a qualified psychologist. For me, poker is just entertainment that brings me pleasure and money :)
.... it seems that you want to write some original script and are looking for interesting stories :)

I used to work in a bookmakers and its not the game or sport that is the problem. It is the irresponsibility of money in gambling, the persons keep trying to chase a big win.
You had people in debt, gambling their full paycheck away, in order to try and pay that debt and resolve all of their problems. Only for them to get worse and worse, as their stake gets higher and higher.

Fortunately, this has not happened to me and I am sure it will not happen. If your life is close to collapse because of poker or other gambling things, urgently contact your family, they will not let you make irrevocable mistakes - I sincerely wish that no one encounters this! Good luck to all!🖤

No, for the entire time that I have been playing poker, I have not had debts because of this or problems. I always try to adhere to the rule - "play for money that is not a pity to lose." And you can always try to get back what you lost by playing in freerolls.

Hello, no, I have never been in such a situation, because poker for me is a hobby and nothing more. My finances don’t depend on it and I don’t play for big money.

I was in a bad place when I was single, borrowing money from Friends and having to survive from pay packet to pay packet, was hard when I paid back all the money I owed. It only changed when I met my Wife and I decided right then I had to stop gambling.
I still like a flutter now and again but I feel more mature in my Gambling, I only ever gamble with money I can afford to burn! And if I cannot afford to lose it, I don't use it! It is that simple!
I discovered On-line Poker late in Life (I was in my forties) and I can honestly say It cost's me nothing to play. Even in Live events I have won more than I lost, Following a strict Bankroll strategy when it comes to Poker was so easy as I have used it all my married Life, when it comes to gambling,
No! Poker has never caused me to have a problem.

I haven't reached that limit yet and I hope I never do. For that you have to be a guy who lives at night, in legal or clandestine casinos, where gambling, alcohol and vices are the order of the day. If you see a friend coming into that life, help them. salutes

The truth is that it can be, but with the right management, always trying to improve your technical knowledge and having a mentality suited to the sport, you can be profitable. I believe that many people think that poker is easy money and over time the truth comes and shows that it is not, leaving these people frustrated or addicted.

Poker is not a problem, the problem is in addiction, not in restraint. If you are a beginner, never play for your own money. Always start with freerolls. From my little experience: freeroll won 1¢, then 18¢, then 85¢, 2$15¢, then S&G (25¢ and buy-in $1). The bank is now ~$700. I'm moving on. The main thing is to determine the limits of losses. Remember: you always lose and only sometimes win. Good luck!
