1) How did you become interested in gambling?

2) How long have you been gambling?

3) What keeps you doing this?

4) Do you personally think you're good at gambling?

5) Do you love gambling?

6) Was it difficult becoming good at gambling?

1) As an engineering student at UIUC, I met a grad student in mathematics who wanted to play poker but had few friends. We started a game and he introduced me to rec.gambling.poker. After graduating, I decided that playing poker sounded more fun than working in water/wastewater treatment.

2) Amateur since 1992, part-time since 1993, full-time since 1994.

3) 75% good money and easy hours. 25% I enjoy it.

4) Yes.

5) No. There is a very, very long list of things I enjoy more than gambling.

6) That's hard to answer. My gut reaction was "no". I really don't know how to answer. I put in a lot of work at times. It was mostly fun and interesting. Bad runs are difficult emotionally, but I don't really think that that's the question you're asking.
