The past few days I find myself constantly over on the NLOP site playing in poker tournaments. I'm having a lot of fun, even with all the swearing and pounding my fist on the table when I lose It seems like I'm addicted to the game. But, judging solely from my Facebook page, I am not alone. Seems like almost the entire home page on Facebook is filled with friends doing this or that in some game on there. Sometimes I look at them all and think they have a problem
What about you? Is there a game online that you just can't seem to stay away from even though you know you should?

No there is is not really any games that I stay away from. Being retired I have the extra time to get my daily fix of online poker and every morning without fail I play at least an hour of Crosswords! That is my brain exercise to keep all my marbles in working order. That way if I stay sharp I will not get slaughtered at poker!

This is why I haven't been in Mylot for a few days now. I started playing poker on facebook and I can't seem to stop. It was such fun!! I started to abandon other games which I have been actively playing such as Farm Town and Mafia Wars.
But I am a kind of person who get bored easily and quickly, I hope this will happen soon and I will get back to Mylot more often.

It is quite stressful sometimes but when you win, it is such a satisfaction taking other people's chips.. .
Some people are too aggressive I know, sometimes I just leave the table and go find another that is more friendly. Maybe I should just play big as I don't have much luck playing. That way, I can finish my chips sooner. Happy mylotting!!

I'm thankfully not playing with real money over on that poker site, it's mainly for fun. They have some tournaments that are for cash prizes but you don't have to put up any money.
I saw on Facebook that they had changed things so that people couldn't sell their chips.

Hi fwidaman, good to see you! The only game I love doing on facebook is my Fairyland and garden, it is a brilliant game and one that keeps me amused so simple minds like simple things...lol! Apart from that there may be a couple of other games like the board games I might do at times but never feel I shouldn't do them...yet poker is addictive so am not surprised my friend..that's why I have never tried it out! lol ...LoLo

I was very addicted to poker for 2 years. We went to the casino to play poker every weekends, stayed there over night, came home and went back again.
And we play online poker as well, my husband is real into it, he plays allkinds of tournament and cash game. We are both pretty good at it, we have made lots of money by playing poker and it was great fun!
I'm not addicted to any games on the internet though.

My workmates all like to take a game online . They told me if you want to play in poker games but you don't find any people around you could go to website . there are many peoples in there . you have many choose to play poker games or the other games.
But I like to play poker game with face to face .

Yes, there are many people on the poker website. A lot of them are learning to play the game so it can be very time consuming. Playing face to face is good, although I haven't done so in a casino yet. I probably won't, as I hate to lose my own money
