Anything can be an addiction

If you don't know how to manage your bank and go on tilt often, then yes you could have an addiction. Learning self control is important. There is a reason why they have support groups for such things. If you believe you have an addiction you need to seek help before it damages your personal life.

Hi my noble, you can be sure that online poker can become an addiction in a person's life. If you look for homes for people who are sick for games that have ruined your family, they have ruined your work and other things. Everything in life there is a limit. Play poker without harming or harming other people.

I can say that online poker is very addictive, everything has a correct way of use, and that must be applied here as well.

I agree, that poker can be considered as drug addiction, so we must try to limit ourselves in the game!!!

it can if you let it be. For me personally, Ive definitely got in ruts where I found myself not doing social things and missing parties to play. Having a family now has cut into my poker time lately, and that's fine. But I love the game and will play whenever it is appropriate to.

Yes, online poker can become a drug addiction, if a person likes it, it is more and more drawn into the game and it becomes dependent on it, you need to keep yourself in hand and control your actions to which you can be tightened and you will become dependent on the game!

Poker is a game of chance. This can be equated to addiction. If you just play with friends it's not scary. But when in pokers thousands of dollars lost, it is already a disease. Gambling needs to be controlled.

Yes,it is addictive,that is why you need to play with moderation after a plan. Do not play to many tournaments in one day and do not play more then a fix % in one day. ex.(bankroll = 100 usd you play 2 tournaments with buy ins less than 1$.
