I'd like to give my very uneducated opinion of a poker player with a gambling problem.

Poker players play poker because they feel theres an edge they have. The typical gambler that gambles on slots,blackjack, or whatever house game knows that they dont have an edge(Micon excluded) they gamble for the thrill of running like God and crushing the game. Its not even about the money so much as it is the thrill.

Poker players no matter how bad they are will never ever think their bad. They see alot of guys who play really bad so they automatically think their good. Theres nothing you can tell them to make them realize this. They have to figure it out on their own.

Heres my personal story just fuckin act like you care bitches.

I played home games and started playing online at Party poker because my boys did. I deposited like $500 crushed some satys to big tourneys. I play a 200k guaranteed with a $220 buy in with 1380 people and take 2nd. I made 30k in 8.5 hrs. I ws God I was the best in the world. It didnt even feel like real money I was playing those 1k 2 table step tourneys and just kept bubbling.

This storys to long so a long story short I sucked and no one could tell me any different. The point is Jasep sucks at poker but because in his mind he doesnt he will never be able to stop playing poker. Its like Lindgren he got treatment for the house games but hes great at poker so thats not a problem. In reality Lindgren is a typical live player that cant comprehend wont most 21 year old online players already know.

The point of this incredibly boring story is even if Jasep gets treatment he will stop playing house games but he will never stop playing poker so he will always be looking for the next scam.

I dont believe its possible for a poker player that thinks their good which is 99% of poker players to get help imo.
