Have you ever played poker to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties? 6. Has poker caused a decrease in your ambition or efficiency? 7. After losing, have you felt you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses? 8. After a win, have you had a strong urge to return and win more? 9. Have you often played poker until your last dollar is gone? 10. Have you ever borrowed to finance your poker game? 11. Have you ever sold anything to finance your poker game? 12.

Funny stuff vppappy! Me, I didn't count, but I think I answered yes on like 50 % of the questions. In other words, a classic coinflip, two overcards against the underpair for me...
Edit: So I counted through them, and I had 4 or 5 "ye"s, and like 15 "no". That wasn't really 50/50. More like a flushdraw on the turn with maybe a possibility to hit a gutshow that might be good. Or something...
