Default Re: Gambling Addiction

There is a lot of confusion here I think. Top players almost all like to gamble. So they push hard in marginal spots and run over players who don't like to gamble. This can be considered the 'sickness' top players admit to having.

OTOH, true gambling addiction I think has to do with players wanting to lose to punish themselves for their good fortune, or to prove they can lose it and still be OK.

These two things share some similarity but are different overall.
