At first site your stick of high endurance old spice reads, High Variance.
You think of your dinner in terms of a big bet, versus monetary value.
You long for the day that Holiday Inn gives a complimentary SSHE rather than bible in your bed side drawer.
You could, and will, literally use the million click warranty on the mouse you bought at CompUSA.

That's all i've got, please add more. This could be interesting.....

You know you are a poker addict when.....
....pot odds is not the chance your dealer is in on a Friday night.
....you fail to laugh at any jokes involving "nuts" because your dreaming of the Royal Flush you got last week.
....you wear sunglasses at 3 in the morning "because it cuts down the screen glare!".
....Phil Hellmuth stops sounding like he is whining, because you had the same bad beat last night.
....you give your wife your credit card to get quality poker time.
....you keep a stack of chips in your pocket to practice chip tricks everywhere you go.
....everyone around you wants to kill you because you never stop practicing chip tricks.
....if someone takes your practice chips away you sulk.
....you check your local bookshop to make sure they have a copy of supersytem even though you already have a copy.
....you are tight aggressive. "No really, I am!"
....your wife buys you a fishing rod for your birthday because they have heard you talk about fish non stop for months.
....when you book a holiday the first thing you find out about your destination is if they have a cardroom there.
....you start trying to bribe the IT department at work to charge the firewall rules.
....you install a second internet connection, router, hubs, WIFI your home and have a second computer "Just in case".
....you tell the girl sitting in seat 8 at Partypoker she is hot.
....the bags under your eyes are bigger than the ones your wife brings home.
....you respond to the "You know you are a poker addict when..." thread because you thinks its funny.
....you laughed at any of these.

Don't we all do this?
The summer after we graduated high school a friend and I used to play at Truepoker until 10am in the morning when the local hamburger place opened and go have breakfast there mocking it for being so cheap "this meal isn't even a big blind, how does this place even make any money?". Then we went to sleep until the evening and the cycle restarted.

....you are a winning player. "No really, I am!"
....after the police raid you phone them and ask when will you get your bankroll back.
....you get a therapist just so you can tell them bad beat stories.
....you have to calm your wife down after you tell her about the pair of ladies that gave you a baaaad beat last night.
....you start leaving travel brochures for Vegas lying around the house just in case someone gets the hint.
....you tell you wife you are cashing out and get upset when she starts talking about getting a new dishwasher.
....you wonder why your wife isnt talking to you after you suggest she takes a masseurs course.

....you have a Scotty Nguyen poster on your wall.
....you thought Tilt was a serious inside look at the poker world.
....you have tried to pursuade at least one person poker isn't gambling.
....you have a draw full of broken mice and dents in the wall.
....when your wife asks about fixing the leak your first thought is not the hot water tank.

You know you are an addict when...
1. You check-raise your 8 year old niece learning how to play Follow the Queen for the first time.
2. You get p!ssed when wild cards are in play.
3. You don't get nervous making a $50 bet.
4. You talk about flopping the nuts to your friends and family and they think you are crazy.
5. You are p!ssed when you leave a casino with less money than you came in with instead of saying "I had fun tonight!".

You understood the jokes and thought the answers to this question where actually funny (PokerProdigy).

If you've ever asked someone if they know how to hook up multiple monitors to one computer
If you tell your friends how excited you were last night because you met some girls at the casino that were loose/aggressive, loose/passive, or tight/passive; but that you hated the tight/aggressive one.

You know "nice pot" used to have some other meaning, but cannot remember what it was.
You're checking out at the grocery store and ask for "Time" has you look for correct change.
You have no idea what time the sun sets.
The following statements trigger reality checks so severe that you think you warped into the conversation from the Twilight Zone: Your wife asks you to "check the blinds" ... The radio announces a "Big Slck" on the freeway ... Marsha Brady says "I've got the nuts" ... Your date asks "What position do you like?" ... or was it something about a "Montana Banana" ... your Mother wants you to go to the store "on 4th Street" ...

You accept your companies offer of transfer to the office they are opening in Las Vegas. But, turn down the fat promotion because it requires 60+ hours a week.At least that's what I did today /images/graemlins/smile.gif

You get the closest parking spot to the building/door/whatever, and proudly boast that you have "the nut parking spot". I've actually done this...and was rightfully laughed at.

When you have a bad dream that you misclicked and folded quads...
... so you wake yourself up so you don't go on tilt!
Seriously, it just happened to me.

How about when you've hit up your friends and family for money for the umpteenth time, you can no longer go to your local casino/house game cause you owe everyone money, and you take out credit cards in your kids name/social security number just to get some action online?

Not a funny one.
You know you're a poker addict when you dropped $1,000 today, but are comfortable knowing it's only 100 big bets. Kind of. /images/graemlins/crazy.gif
