Small Stakes No-Limit Hold'em

OHHH……I get it now…you work for or with the website and you're hitting up all of the poker/gambling related messageboards online with the soft sale  I see

Good luck to you. I do agree that gambling addiction is a major problem, and it seems that website is doing a good thing.

For me personally, I have a very steady day job. I only play as a serious hobby, and I play well within my bankroll, and have actually profited a little while learning the game.

 I enjoy the game of poker like someone would enjoy backgammon and chess (which also is played for big $$$ LOL). The fact you can make some decent money at poker is just a bonus to me. I was never a big "gambler, and rarely bet $$ outside of very small friendly wagers amongst friends (sporting events, etc)

 Unlike some gambling types, I'm not driven by money. I just love the actual game of poker, it's a fascinating study of human nature. The $$ is just a bonus, and ups the intensity a little. The way I look at it is people spend thousands of dollars on their hobbies every year,  but this is hobby you can actually MAKE money at if you work hard. But self control is a extremely important.  

Certain personality types can get in a lot of trouble though. Those with obsessive complusive/ addictive personalities or those driven by material things and $$ can really lose it if they are not smart.   

You know….I think you are right jruss. I did just lose a $5 pot with AK offsuit .out of positiion…Sweet  baby Jesus is there an emergency hotline number I can can call?
