If I sit to play poker than I can play for straight 5 hours but the issue is that I do not get time even to start my first game. It is only in the weekends that I can actually play poker. Also I do not get any withdrawal symptons if I do not play during the week. Therefore, I can say that I am not addicted to poker, but I love the game.

I have ups and downs with poker, you know. I can't say I spend a lot of time with it anymore, but I do spend quite some money and sometimes stupidly, as you say there. I wish that collusion would just go mainstream and that we all ripped off each other's pockets...at least poker would become more fun.

Yep, you're addicted all right, but I'm not far from addicted either. I don't let a day pass without playing at least 2 hours, I never miss any major small entry online tournament and I also don't miss any SnG's that my friends or other acquaintances organize at their homes or maybe at a casino. So I guess I've joined the club, eh? whistle

But if sometimes I feel that my "luck" is going pretty bad, I quit even for weeks and wait for an opportune time. After all there's plenty of stuff to do with my money, rather than losing it.

I can say I am addicted to poker, I play every day online poker and live poker in weekend with my friends on someone home or in a caffe bar . I had up and downs on internet even lost 300$ in a couple of minutes . To win is harder then is to lose .
Play poker and u will get your reading good you will find your game .
I can say i won more then i lost so i can say im proud of me.
My suggestion is to keep playing poker sooner or later you will win. The most important in winning on poker is your banckroll, you must manage it wisely and buy in just what u can afford to lose
