Episode #222: Why Online Poker Feels So Addictive (It’s Not Just Money)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why does online poker feel impossible to stop?
It’s not just the money.
It’s the anticipation.
The uncertainty.
The feeling that the next hand could change everything.
And online, the game never really ends.
No stopping point. No real reset.
Just one more hand. One more hit of stimulation.
Over time, your brain adapts to that intensity.
So now:
slower moment feels dull, motivation feels inconsistent,
and real life doesn’t hit the same anymore.
Not because you’re lazy. Because your brain got used to faster dopamine loops.
In this video, Dr. Trish Leigh explains how online poker activates the same reward circuitry involved in scrolling, gambling, pornography, and hyperstimulating digital habits.
