I ran a quick search to see if this was discussed before and couldn't find anything so I thought why not ask.

I read this article about common habits among entrepreneurs and one of them was Gambling. I know I can identify with that as Poker is a big part of my life. I play regularly, was ranked top 10% at my peak on PokerStars and FullTilt until I got banned for suspected collusion because I would follow fish from table to table...

Now I have to play on sites like Poker888 and local online sites.

What about you guys? I'm sure there are a few gamblers in the house!
