I have been wondering about this for a while as well.
I tend to play for at least an hour a day and I feel upset if I don't get to play. That sounds sort of like an addiction however isn't it really just the same as anything else you enjoy doing?
In a similar way I go climbing every wednesday and if I have to do something else instead I am upset and annoyed that I can't go climbing. Am I addicted to climbing also?
Everyone has something in their lives that they spend too much time on. Its up to you whether it is something bad or good.
problem is if you are a loosing player and you are addicted and if you lack selfcontrol.
I thought I was... but then I had to study for tests and exams. So far I haven't played poker in 2 weeks, and don't really have any withdrawal.
Guess I wasn't addicted...
You're can't really tell until it's too late and it really starts messing up your life, methinks.
I almost wish i could become addicted to poker. I generally play every day and feel bad if i don't because i set a minimum 10 SnG's /day rule, to make a bankroll and climb levels.
So i play on average for 2h a day every day and don't feel addicted. And i'll do this as long as i enjoy it and make a profit out of it... I was thinking about dumping playing while i have the exams; i don't know if i'll do it or not...
(or maybe i'm addicted and i don't realise it lol).
I wish I was addicted to poker, I play for 1/2h - 1h, get bored, and leave table, especially when I'm winning.

Same here. Not always, but very often. No matter if I'm running good or not...
