Whenever I put 10 hr's grind per/day for a week+ my skin, eye's and hair look horrible to the point I cannot go out to public places in fear of embarrassment. If I don't play for a couple of day's it goes back to normal though.

Why does this happen to me? Is putting so many hours staring at the computer screen really that hazardous to your health and appearance?

Anyone else experience something like this or am I unique person who cannot spend to many hrs playing poker? (I do have a.d.d and a left eye problem so playing internet poker take's a bigger toll on me then other's.)

I do expirience the same. poker is hazardous to your health/appearance. Sitting 10 hrs starring at a PC screen is extremely unhealthy. Only solution I know to lessen this pale skin/bad hair effect is big break inbetween with very intensive work-out outside. I think, this horrible appearence effect is due to bad blood circulation. And work-out + fresh air helps to remedy that.

I've heard that putting long hr's on the computer does cause blood circulation issues but never really considered it such a big deal until now that is...

i read somewhere that sitting for +1 hour is bad for your heart ... your more likely to get cardiovascular diseases. try doing some stomach exercises or stand up and stretch every hour also.

thats why people call online poker a kids game.
