Er poker vigtigere end sex?

Hvis du kan svare ja til ovenstående spørgsmål, så lider du muligvis af ludomani. De gængse ludomainitests er slet ikke gearet til pokerspillere og derfor har Nelson Rose på baggrund af egne erfaringer, litteratur om emnet samt samtaler med professionelle pokerspillere formuleret en ludomanitest for pokerspillere med 16 spørgsmål.

Han ved ikke, hvor mange 'rigtige' du skal have for at være i risikogruppen for ludomani, men hvis du kan svare ja til 'en del' af spørgsmålene, så bør du søge professionel hjælp, siger Nelson Rose til Pokerpages.com

Ludomani test for pokerspillere:

1. Do you play for stakes that you know are too high?
2. Do you sometimes feel you can't quit because you are behind?
3. Do you sometimes feel you can't quit because you are ahead?
4. When you lose, is it often because of bad beats rather than your own bad play?
5. Do you often get angry at other players at the table, for such things as slowing down the game?
6. Have you gone on tilt more than once?
7. When you are losing, do you increase your bets to try to get even?
8. Do you often stay in too many hands?
9. Do you drink a lot, sometimes going on binges?
10. Do you sometimes forget important social obligations, because you are playing?
11. Have you misled or lied to your family, friends or at work about how much poker you play?
12. Are you increasingly using the ATM?
13. Have you lied to get money to play poker?
14. Do you feel bad about things you have done because of poker?
15. Are you more interested in poker than sex?
16. Do you feel you always have to be in action, even when you are not playing poker, so that you often bet on games and propositions that are more luck than skill?
