HAHAHAA couldnt agree more

[CliffLee]

I completely agree with OP.

[bahrami17]

This game drives me crazy, rewards are too good though.

[FlopShot30]

Agree with OP. Poker helps me unwind.

im guessing they only studied winning players haha

[Ivanovskaya]

This is strange since you often deal with losses and annoying stretches. Aren't those stressful situations?

Selective polling

Yeah, it definitely seems OP took some stuff way out of context or just fabricated it alltogher.

[Criclevit]

same here , agree with OP

Look at athletes such as Greg Raymer (His picture is at the top of your screen)

Low stress yet, but being massively obese will take more years off your life than detracting attention for an hour where the money for the gas bill is coming from?

You could just as easily title the research "Poker lowers your stress, but you will still die young if it turns you into a larda ss"

THANK YOU LOL. What a load of sht. Tell someone who is brand new to poker to put money online and see if they end up nearly throwing the laptop across the room. I've almost done in more than a few times. Making a ton of money and than losing it all in 3 days due to bad beat after bad beat IS NOT a stress free 3 days. Its the opposite. Why do you think most pros are aholes? Oh and of course you can tell everyone is relaxed by reading the chats going on in the game NOT.

LMAO Also love the other guys post "I broke my keyboard playing a freeroll. Go me." Need more funny posts like this. Hilarious because boy we all can relate. Don't have to play long online to be able to relate.

Disagree, but interesting. Definitely causes me to eat more and worse foods.

I agree..poker is good for you although I truly believe that to play this game in the first place, NLH, that you have to have a healthy dose of self loathing. Why else would we put ourselves thru this. I've quit 1000 times but I always come back...if its in your blood than its in your blood....a divine addiction.
