Just be sure not to be standing too close to a frying pan when you say it.

Re: An interesting conversation with a female friend of mine . . .
I'm still trying to get her to understand that poker isn't like most other Casino games and isn't gambling...once I get through that argument I can deal with the addiction one...

If I had the magic check option, I probably wouldn't completely quit, but I sure as hell wouldn't be playing 40k+ hands a month... I'd play very very leisurely, maybe 2 hours a week, and a wider variety of games as well. [/ QUOTE ] Come on now. That's not part of the deal. If you take the checks you are DONE with poker. That's the only way the question is interesting.

Re: An interesting conversation with a female friend of mine . . .
When I first started playing way more than it would be considered casual, I checked the GA web site. Luckily it's not a problem and/or addiction, if you're winning. And it helps if it's your job, since you never lose time at work because of poker, and it sure is easy to sleep after a 24 hour session.
