While most of us recognize that online poker addiction is a very serious matter, many of us try to excuse habits that we may have by saying that they do not fit the mold. One of the most popular excuses that problem gamblers use to avoid recognizing that they have an addiction is to say that they do not play poker online every day. They assume, incorrectly, that poker online addicts play every day. This is patently not true for a variety of reasons. You do not need to play poker every day to have a problem; you just need to have a problem when you do play poker to consider seeking professional help.

Claiming that you cannot possibly have a problem with poker because you don’t play every day is a clear sign that you are trying to make excuses for poker habits that you know are not as they should be. Poker addiction is not based on how frequently you play. Even if you only play once a week you could have a serious problem if you are unable to properly regulate your relationship to the game at the moments when you happen to be at the table. Don’t let this all too common excuse stand in the way of the help you need.
