You wrote: "I get annoyed with friends and family, and give them attitude. Others do that too though, are they messing up their life too?"

That question has an obvious answer: YES!

Poker is a game. It's a wonderful game, but it is much less important than relating well to your family and friends.

If you are nasty to the people dear to you over whatever happens at a poker table, you are taking the game MUCH too seriously.

So is anyone else who does so, even if poker is the source of his income.

Any marriage counselor can tell you of many divorces that have been caused by people's taking out their work frustrations on their families. Letting a GAME have the same effects is absurd.

Don't let poker take over your life and destroy your most important relationships.

Al
