I have recently found myself playing a lot of Poker online. I don't play for real money, but I find that I am playing a lot. I also tend to watch a lot of Poker on the TV to improve my skills. The best I did was finish 15th in a 260 person tournament. I am wondering if you think that if I continue to play so much if I'll eventually start playing for money. Playing for money is something I do not want to get into, but with aspergers, I can easily get obsessed with things. What do you think I could do to still have fun, but not bet my life-savings away?

Don't do it. This could very easily cross the line into compulsive gambling.
