The facts are that some people who win or lose get a great deal of enjoyment from poker, including myself. I find as I improve as a player, I improve other areas of my life as well.
The FACTS are the extremely large majority of the poker playing population are losers. As well, a substantial portion have gambling problems. I do not deny at all that some people are winners.
This is not subjective based on my own personal experience or emotion, your argument is based on an insanely large fallacy that my informed opinion that an addiction to poker negatively effects the majority of people psychologically of physically. The game may help you, or you may be in denial, either way is completely irrelevant. I'm not tilted, I love my life, played zero hands of poker for the past few months and haven't been happier since before I ever played poker. And I never considered it as a career path, I was trying to pay my way through university.
