It used to be an addiction for me. About 7 years ago I reached a point where I was spending and borrowing money I didn't have. I would stop eating to gamble, and my return was 30% of what I invested, so my numbers were in the red. Thank God I stopped betting so much because of Covid, since I couldn't go out and the internet was too intermittent to play online. Today, thank God, I only bet extra money that I earned.

I says like my alcoholic neighbour: I can stop anytime if I will, but I don't want to.

Yes, I am a bit addicted to poker, I spend a lot of time playing poker and my social networks have a lot of poker videos or card games, but on the other hand poker is the only “vice” I have, I don't like a lot of things unfortunately

I do not think I am addicted to poker. When I want to do something else, I do not feel discomfort. There are many interesting things besides poker.

I play poker online often, but I'm not addicted to it. I can control myself, and when I take a break, it's more enjoyable to go back to playing. My mind seems to be more open to logical reasoning after I stop playing for a while and then go back to playing. I think this is a healthier way for me.

If i'm losing money and not having fun I don't play. so I would say no it's not additive. just don't tilt!

I play when there is appetite for the game! I don't play mechanically, and I wouldn't play dangerously. I play trying to enjoy the game!

Yes i find it enjoying and stimulating especially as those MAGIC 5 cards are systematically placed on the table, trying to hide that rush when your in the money...That IMHO is the Addiction!!

The truth is that whoever plays poker on the grass. Whoever says no is not telling the truth.

every time I lose I am left under the impression of where I went wrong in some situations, and in the end I realize that it is not up to me but the algorithm of the platform! I throw a lot of good cards, and I almost always lose on KK QQ JJ AK AQ! Better not to wait for them!

might pass through a period where im playing heavy and then another when i play rarely
it can be additive but the question is why are you playing and what is your goal....

Sometimes poker feels like a job, I do it just for the money

Not addicted to poker, have turned down a lot of games because I know there will be more available in the future.

I don't have an addiction. I like playing poker and I enjoy it.

Poker can be addictive because of the excitement and challenge, but it’s important to play responsibly and keep a healthy balance in life.
