    Right boardsies, I think ye have [strike]gambling[/strike]gaming problems too. Answer the following questions:

    • Do you prevent your family and friends from knowing how much you play poker?
    • Do you play poker with money that is supposed to be used for other reasons like lunches, clothing, car insurance or saving for college?
    • Do you often gamble longer than you wanted to and lose more money than you intended?
    • Is poker the main source of what you do to feel good about yourself?
    • Do you ever lie about whether you play poker or how much you lose?
    • Do you miss school or other important events due to gambling?
    • Have you ever stolen money or property in order to play poker or pay gambling debts?

    I only answered yes to 3 of them.
