    Hate to say this Annie, Poker is gambling. The only difference? poker is from other table games. Poker can be played as a profession. There’s no such thing as a professional roulette player, baccarat player, and ect.

  • J Boogie says:

    No matter how we want to rationalize the idea of gamblin, there is a hinden agenda by the state and owners. Most of us are not providing a service with out the purpose of making money. And, as long as money is the purpose there will always be an unfair attactment, either by you or the person who cause you to price your product. Casino gamblin is one of the worst kinds of evil in our society, because the owner have premission to take from? you with out a gun, and who knows if you will ever win.

    The lottery? is a tax on people who do not understand statistics.

  • sebrussell says:

    Obesity and compulsive gambling are both legitimate brain disorders. Problem is, for every person with an actual cerebral imbalance,? there’s a bunch more who are just lazy or lack the motivation to get it together. People with obesity (actual obesity not just greediness) lack the part of the brain that tells them that they are full and the part that tells them they are hungry is always on. Admittedly it is hugely rare compared to the number of healthy people who hide behind it. Same for gambling

  • Delise Ficha says:

    I agree with what Steve says, but I don’t want to stop gambling for everyone. It is a very fun time for me and? many others. Now for example I play Roulette with No Zero, thanks to Curious Roulette Blog, which is bringing the Casino Advantage down to 0%. Fun times for gamblers these days!

    He’s calling? gambling a ‘brain disease’?! And equating it to CANCER??? Yeah, like FAT people who have a ‘disease’. Hey! No obese people came out of Auschwitz!

    Get a grip and take some fucking responsibility for yourselves ffs.

  • Madd Lawgick says:

    Expecting Ana to do adequate research on her guests and topics? You must be? new here.

    GOD DAMN? IT

    hahahaha

  • don222able says:

    I hate it when these poker guys say they aren’t gambling. They are, they lose when they have the odds in there favor on a regular basis.? They may have mastered strategy and they can DIMINISH there disadvantage but they can control the outcome in anyway. They can’t do anything to increase the chances of them winning.

  • ArizonaDesertRats says:

    I never met? anyone who made their fortunes in a casino. Best advice is work hard and save your money. Stay out of casinos they can ruin your life and destroy your dreams.

    False advertising…. gamblers help, pfft.?

  • B Sams says:

    Joan said that cuz she schemed against? her daughter and ultimately got her daughter off the show, she was being a mom lol

  • B Sams says:

    Dr. Fong is kinda cute..doesn’t look the best in HD? lol but from afar he’s quite handsome

  • Sykotix1 says:

    Can’t believe you invited her on here. Annie Duke? was a huge part of the Epic Poker scandal, defrauding the Disabled American Veterans charity.

  • AmySavage6 says:

    “Natural juices”? first it’s an adrenaline rush when you wait the outcome, if you win it’s endorphins, if you lose it’s more adrenaline as the stress mounts… It’s the same with all addictions, I have? addictive personality disorder so I speak from experience…

  • xAznnique says:

    Wow Annie is? a scammer, way to go tyt

  • bangurdead102 says:

    She does a quick little “my user? base is insignificant to me, poo poo” near the start, if people care enough to hate on her and that helps her financially then its obvious what she’s doing is riling up her haters. I was just answering the call!

  • mrt110883 says:

    What they need next time is a panel with Annie Duke, Howard Lederer and Daniel Negreanu.

    Seriously, though, Duke’s analysis is pretty bad here. Her “poker isn’t gambling” mantra conflicts directly with the theoretical teachings of David Sklansky. The winning player, and in fact the house, engages in? a calculated risk while getting the best of it. And in blackjack, the player OF COURSE can make a decision during a hand. When you double down, you figure you have an edge, so you double the bet.
