Wait till you almost miss out on your own birthday celebration to play a big tournament
i counted 9 for myself, 9/22 is not that bad i guess..
1. I Stayed up all night just to play poker
2. Skipped a meal because of the poker game you're in
3. Held having to go to the bathroom for more than a half an hour to avoid sitting out
4. Played more tables than your computer can handle
5. Reached a limit for how many tables you can have open
6. Lost money you couldn't afford to lose in a poker game
7. Had 3 or more different poker site softwares open at once
8. Play poker while your bf/gf or husband/wife is around
9. Dream about poker
It has been a few years since I was that obsessed with playing poker, but I have to say that finding this forum and playing again has really got me going again. While I have not played in anything other than the PO freerolls, I am now itching to win enough to get into the big Sunday games again! Last time I was playing online was at the height of the Full Tilt, Pokerstars, etc. craze and I missed my own Birthday dinner to play in a big game and would take my laptop to the bathroom and to the dinner table to keep playing, lol.
My online poker addiction is just about as bad as the '' working mans'' addiction. :)
I'm only at 8. I wish it was more...I liked being addicted to poker. no matter how frustrating, I was happier being addicted than not. I feel somewhat lost now that my addiction is subsiding. Earlier in my life it was chess, then my work, then golf. I was happiest all those times when I had a passion for something.
This list & the 15 lines I qualify for is a vivid reminder of why I converted to sports betting. lmfao...Well I suppose we still have a problem Houston. The sportsbook can be alot less hectic than the poker lobby if I do say so myslf..After a while the repetition & swings get hella old & considering it's almost a given that every RNG has a mind of its own, you cant beat the system. Well there are a few dozen who are an expcetion to the rule most being live players or Site affiliated individuals. It can be a jolly good time until all things are factored in. :mad:
20, hard to admit although do not feel as bad knowing most others have the same tempermant.
Not too bad right now. I play way too many freerolls and low limits since I dont have any real money. Used to play 12 hours a day when i was younger.
Only 6 for me - I thought I was pretty bad off at times, but you guys make me see what REAL poker addiction is!! :)
Why does paying for a HUD make you an addict?
