Thanks

I'm being totally judgemental here, but.....
If you need to gamble for money online, you may want to seek counseling for your habit.
I totally understand gambling for pleasure at a casino as it's stimulating in so many ways. Sitting behind your keyboard gambling just screams addict

Yes, you are. I've played online once in my life about 5 years ago, maybe lost $20. And ever since we got the lottery I've spent about $20 on that. So no, I don't have a problem, but thanks for the concern.

FMR: I am quite inclined to disagree, as long as one is smart with his money. I have a friend who's won many many many thousands of dollars in the past two years gambling on online poker sites (and more in sponsorship for championship series in Las Vegas and an upcoming Cuba trip, but that's another story) ... he started out with online gambling and has never let it dip under his original investment. The anonymity is good too, allows for practice without the embarrassment if you're really bad at it

For every time I hear about someone winning it big, those people some how forget they have lost it huge and never recount those stories.

I would use partypoker. my friend has won a few thousand on there (though he is pretty good at hold 'em).

He's lost it huge ... told me several times how he was disappointed over losing $200 in a game or things to that effect ... but he wins far more than that consistently. He's said as soon as he gets on a losing streak he'll quit for a while, but until then he's doing *very* decent. (100+ grand anyone?)

alot of people like partypoker.com but I prefer to play on pokerroom.com they have more games(ie. blackjack and other casino games). but I usually just stay in the play money hold-em rooms.
