Re: My name is Indiana and I am a poker addict
Yeah I do understand OP too. Could say I am addicted also. However I just got to know the game so it's not exactly an income at the moment.. but I hope to make a (side)income with poker in the future.
I think you did good taking a 'break', if your income is that much higher than your pokerincome itd be insane to risk that amongst other things.. |

Re: My name is Indiana and I am a poker addict
Im curious, but for those for would consider themselves addicted, why is this? Is it primarily a question of easy money, of having to beat every level or something else? I love poker and i think about it probably way too much but have never got to the properly addicted stage.
I play I guess a semi-pro level to get myself through my Phd, but I have come to see it as a job. It is of course still better than a real job, but I really wish I had a passion that could get me through big sessions and then want to come back for more. In a sense, I wish I was more addicted, though my problem is probably one of concentration rather than love for the game. For those who at 'addiction' levels, can you put your finger on what drives you to want to play all the time? |

Re: My name is Indiana and I am a poker addict
Well, it would be foolish to let that 30% of your income threaten your 70% of income. Because the last thing you want is that 30% to be all of your income.
Take a break. Poker will always be there. 24/7. I know what you mean about getting used to the money. We always seem to be spend close to what we have. And having less means feeling poor which is what nobody wants. |

Re: My name is Indiana and I am a poker addict
Thanks guys, I am officially on a poker break of sorts. I only play lower stakes like $55 HU matches and such right now. I am very very hungry to jump back into high stakes and compete, but for the next week or two i will force myself to be a poker lightweight. Honestly, poker is all i have in life and i know that's sad. I pretty much get bored to tears with everything else in my life, including fancy things and sexy time....
