Re: VERY interesting NYT Article
[ QUOTE ]
I feel that this article is an over-reation to how peoples' lives are changing because of the internet. [/ QUOTE ] I disagree with this, especially after seeing so many "I'd rather play poker than be with my gf/hang with my friends/go to parties/leave my room/etc." posts on 2+2. Maybe the issue is actually more gambling addiction than internet addiction. But still, it's a lot easier to become addicted to gambling when it is available 365/24/7 from your living room couch. The real question, I think, for winning players, is can you have a problematic addiction to online poker even while you're making money? I say yes, but I'd be interested to hear arguments to the contrary.

Hilarity ensues. bk
