Most authorities agree that if you manifest several of the following behaviors, you have a problem with gambling 
Guys, lets check ourselves 
- Preoccupation - wanting to relive past gambling experiences, planning the next venture
- Chasing - chasing one's losses
- Increasing amounts of money in order to achieve the desired excitement
- Bailoit - you have relied on others to provide money to relieve a desperate financial situation caused by gambling
I've checked myself, and so far I'm not

This is a very good point that you bring up Kate and we must all take this test. For me I failed it when I was 11 the only way out was to start playing better & winning but when your a kid its different when I look it now I am very conservative and hate to see people that are totally addicted. While most games you can never beat poker is a game that if you work hard you can keep improving the key is to stay away from other things learn about bank roll managemnet and betting to you roll, that is if you know that you can never stop.

I have to be honest wilth all of you, I don't have a problem with the funding of gambling it is that I am always losing no matter what I do, so my quick fix to this was to double up or win a few hands and leave for the day, trust me that is the hardest thing to do. Everyone who has won and stuck around just to lose it all knows what I am feeling so you deposit more money and get pocket aces just to lose to two pr on the river-lol
I have not cash out in a long will but I am hanging in there, good luck to all. h
