Re: Poker: Passion or Addiction?

Winning player = Passion
Losing player = Addiction

Some time after first starting to play, sure. I don't think anyone starts out as a winning player, which would imply all novices are simply addicts.
IMO, if you're playing at your limit, can afford your losses, and are exercising control over your relationship with the game, I'd say that's more indicative of passion than addiction. Addiction, after all, implies a lack of control.
