You know you\'re a poker addict when..........
 
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 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".

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 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!".
