Re: Being Told \"you have a problem\"
[ QUOTE ]
Being apart of a well streamed logical vortex and competing in a game is like a religious experience for me - I feel close to a fundamental aspect of my existence. [/ QUOTE ] Wow, loaded statement. I like it and can relate.

Re: Being Told \"you have a problem\"
you should definitely keep it to yourself unless you want to have a bunch of conversations about how "all gamblers lose in the end".
Most people put gambling in a box. I will lose it at, close the box. It is sort of like religion in that way, once you believe it, for a lot of people, you really can't get them to change. Even with overwhelming evidence to the contrary. In my blog I try and keep particulars out so my family can read. 20k and 30k swings is not comforting. Forget the fact that my house is paid for and all of the things they see to the contrary. To admit that something is possible is to admit you may be wrong about a lot of things and that is something that most people don't want to do.

Re: Being Told \"you have a problem\"
[ QUOTE ]
Background... 1 year ago, I decided to play poker as a PT job. Today, still doing it, and doing well.. Playing about 4 hours per night. Talked to some family members about how I was earning XX per hour playing poker... They told me I had a problem because I play too much...my one cousing, who works two part time jobs and goes to school, said.."you have a problem, but thats great!" Anyone else get this? Maybe I should keep it to myself and my girlfriend. [/ QUOTE ] yes you are a sad person with a gambling addiction, welcome to the club [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
