1. Hey, good for you
Don't let it get to be an addiction. I had a lot of friends back when we were your age that bet on pro sports and lost a bundle, I mean like 10-15,000 but I know your too smart to let that happen. Just have fun with it.

5. IF it's money then you are betting
You 'bet' on each hand don't you?

Anyway, yes I can see how it has become additing. Playing cards of any kind is an addition for me as well. Have fun and good luck.

6. I meant its different than betting on sports
because it you can alter tbe outcome. With betting on an exterior conflict, its different. Easier to lose.

7. Good point
I miss playing cards. We use to play every Mondays, all different kinds of poker. Well that's before I started to work nights and before my friend moved to Baltimore and before another friend got married and had a kid....


Don't grow up dude. Stay young and keep playing poker.
