I know this sounds like strange advice but I would not advice anyone to gamble. Period.

I've seen a lot of loosers and they are actually also represented amongst the winners to. Poker can consume anyone and a lot of pro players / even small winners / have lost touch with a lot of things in their lives without even noticing it. Replacing meeting a friend or reading a book with a monotonous grind in front of the computer or at the casino, for example... I've been there myself to and all players I know that are just a little self aware agree with me.
