http://www.gamblinghelper.com Poker addiction starts out very subtly. You see somebody on TV going "all in" on a bluff with a worthless hand, and his opponent eventually folds, giving the bluffer a big pot. It looks very cool -- like something you'd like to try. So what you do is to invite a few friends over for no-limit Texas Hold'em, just like on television. It gives you a rush, and pretty soon you discover that you don't need your friends over for a game, all you have to is to log on to the online casino of your choice. In time, you will be playing for the very thrill of gambling, for the rush of adrenaline. So you get together with some friends and play a little no limit Texas Hold'em, just like on TV. It gives you a rush and you want to play it again, only next time for more money. Pretty soon you're playing all the time, and not for the purpose of learning how to win - but just for the thrill of the gamble. Or rather, you may be playing it for the money that you win. When you lose you will play even more in order to recoup your losses. The same tendencies that can get you addicted to drugs and alcohol have gotten you hooked on poker. http://www.gamblinghelper.com/forum
