Gambling IS addictive, as you posted yourself, and online gambling is even prohibited in many countries.
THX for removing that link.

Ok, ok. It was sure foolish of me not to think of the youngsters around here. I thought there were mainly adults around here that liked to replay the games of their youth - quite shortsighted.
I thought there might be people like me that used to play 5 card draw every now and then with their friends in the past, found that with increasing age, less spare time and friends spreading over the continents due to jobs etc. it is near impossible to do so nowadays and then try to find an alternative. (A friend of mine had a pretty nice offline-poker shipped with his MAC, I tried to find a similar one for Win98, but they all sucked.)
I also agree that poker can be highly addictive - but in the particular case I mentionend no more addictive than certain online rpgs - I may be otherwise foolish but I wouldn't pay a dime of real money for such a spare time activity.
Since no one likes it anyway (and btw I don't take that personally and think your critics on the way I posted my statement is absolutely justified - indeed it looked like an advertisement), I recommend to delete the whole thread. I can only repeat my apologies. I feel really bad about my 1st post and deleted its contents. Now I gonna get some sleep...
