Default 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 fail to laugh at any jokes involving "nuts" because your dreaming of the Royal Flush you got last week.

....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.

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!".
