Yes - poker , online or otherwise can be an addiction, they even have warnings for people before signing up to any gambling sites , and those who answer honestly if they have a gambling addiction are not allowed to join.

absolutely can become an addiction. Need to stay with proper BR management and have a stop loss in place to help keep from chasing losses for example.

Look, any vice can become an addictive. Be it gambling, drugs, sex, drinking, smoking, or any of the fun and exciting things that make life worth living. So ,like the commercial says, "DO IT RESPONSIBLY"

онлайн-покер может стать наркоманией, если вы слишком игроком или играете в состоянии алкогольного или наркотического опьянения, и вы не можете адекватно оценить все, что происходит

Strangely enough I had the same thought myself. Of course it is addictive, it is just another form of gambling and gambling can be highly addictive.

Of course, online poker is highly addictive
addicts and addictions, my friend ... and a good friend, it's actually a game of opportunity, that is, you can win or lose ... (the human being loves it) even more when you can earn real money and level up every day. .. I already read several books on poker ... and in reality all books were written by addicts ... after all they created their theories playing several hours for days, months and even years ... so to become addicted to pokeronline, is extremely easy .... books teach tactics, strategies and concepts of plays, and if you read a book of an addict, I believe that you are a few steps to become one! Hope I helped hugs.

Yes, you can.but in my opinion, if an intelligent person sees that he loses, he will no longer play

online poker is very exciting, I think it may be dependency, as casino players, like drug addicts, the glavnoe to cross the line where the pull of the game surpasses all common sense.

Many people lose control over themselves, carried away online poker. In this case, players start in any way to spend more time in the game,usually an addiction to poker leads to loss of time and money. I play poker and can't give up the game,it turns out I was addicted to poker.

For many players in the world, poker is already a drug, so the answer is clear Yes!

Poker is a game of preparation and practice and if it is well taken and we make good management of our bankroll, it becomes an excellent extra entrance to our monthly income
Only one thing all in excess is bad you can play poker, but without reaching the extremes of addiction and being able to dedicate time to other important activities in our lives, you have to look for a balance in where poker has its place and space

Online Poker is not an addiction... it's a religion

lol the title says it all... hahaha it can be pretty dangerous I guess but it's sort of like playing video games for long periods that can be addictive too can't it?

Yes, you need to control how much you play poker and not play for big bets if you're not sure about your game.
