It's so addicting if you win big pots, like I did early, especially when there were other people besides this "dude" and me. That hooks you into thinking you can win, and hooks you into pursuing that next winning fix, even though we're dealing with fake money here. And then, as I really started losing "money" to this "person," I found it very difficult to pull away -- partly because I wanted to win, partly because I lost so much that I wanted to "get right" by winning, partly because the next hand came in immediately after the results of the previous hand because there weren't more "players" at the "table" to slow down play. I had to leave by folding $100 million (in fake money) because I wanted to stop and I was losing all the money I came in with and then some.
When you get rolling, gambling, even fake online Omaha like I did, is intensely addicting. Oy.
