1 Did you ever lose time from work/school due to gambling?

Only when family try to berate me for "having a gambling problem". So yes.

4. Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?
No. I have no regrets. It was +EV.
5. Did you ever gamblle to win money to pay back debts?
Well, I suppose this is yes. I needed to play outside of my bankroll so I borrowed some money for buyins. I needed to win to pay back the buyins.
6. Did gambling cause a decrease in your ambition/efficiency?
Not at all. My ambition to win a major poker event increases every day! My ROI increases too so I suppose my efficency is getting better!
7. After losing did you feel you must return asap to win it back?
I feel I play enough as it is, so "returning asap" is a moot point. So no.

See point 7. No.

No, I am aware of proper bankroll management, and aside from a few "loans" here and there to play bigger tournaments, I am self sustaining.

Erm, I guess this is a yes.

I have money for every day purchases, this does not come out of my bankroll. So no.
13 Did gambling make you care of your/your family's welfare?
I care of my familys welfare at all times, gambling has nothing to do with it. What a stupid question.
14 Did you gamble often longer than you had planned?
No, tournament times are published in advance, and if I am playing live then I plan to play until the final table ends. If I am out before then, then I gamble shorter than planned. So no.
15 Have you ever gambled to escape worry or trouble?
Not at all. Whilst its true that at the table you can "escape" reality, its probably true to say that gambling has caused me trouble! If it wasn't for gambling I wouldnt have done hard jail time.

I guess this is yes. I drove whilst disqualifed in order to get to a poker event.
