Izzy 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I think it was Doyle Brunson who said: "All pro poker players are compulsive gamblers... they've simply found a way to win consistently at it to sustain their habit" - or word to that effect. Link to post Share on other sites

three2 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I've taken this test three times previously. With a score of 15 each time, I still don't think I'm a compulsive gambler. I'm just misunderstood. Now, where is that paycheck so I can cash it in for some big blinds?! Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel38 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 not to open pandora's box...Are we considering poker as gambling? If we lay our opponent incorrect odds to call, then we are always taking the best of it, as do the casinos. Are casino's gambling then? Link to post Share on other sites
Vatche 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 is 16 a good score? Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 i'm not a compulsive gambler. i actually really dislike gambling. i like poker of course, but i'm the kind of guy who'd sit at a 2/4 table with $200 and a 5K bankroll.gambling actually bothers me unless the odds are significantly in my favour AND the money amount isn't crucial to me.
