I agree with luckmcfly as it is true that poker players are mostly big money holders who necer quit even though they lose so much in the process of playing but then most of them always run bankrupt due to excessive playing and always trying to recover from previous losses.
It is that things are very difficult to determine, if a player does not get along with his finances he can lose everything and that is something that should not be allowed, just as there are poker players who have a lot of money there are others who do not live According to what they win, it's incredible, but in the world there are people who are like that, however, in my very particular case, I would always like to be involved in poker tournaments to live those experiences more and to be able to come out as a winner one day, I have a friend who plays poker very well, and usually in every tournament he is if he is not 1st, he is among the first, sometimes worse people like him I think they even have a gift.
Gambling as a whole is addiction and we must have our stop limits and budget allocated towards it which must not be crossed in any sense as it could hurt you financially as well as in other ways also.Going bankrupt is very normal one and your life is also distributed so this should be avoided at any cost and not becoming too emotionally attached to the game.
What you say is very true, I really have never gone bankrupt with games of chance, or making sports bets, but I know some cases of well-known colleagues who have had to live that bitter time, and it is difficult, because many they fall into depression and their families have to pay for places where they do sleep cures, according to doctors they say that sometimes addiction to casinos causes that to be worse than drug addiction, because a drug addict is only looking for money to get high, but that the addict to the games tempts against his own life when he does not get money, according to that doctor he assures that the best thing is sleep cures for the person so that he avoids doing something very ugly and disgrace his whole family, the bankruptcy caused by the I consider gambling to be something very delicate.
If so, the key so that we don't go bankrupt and can enjoy gambling games is to learn to control ourselves in any gambling game because that can help us to avoid the addiction that has happened to many people. We don't need to chase defeat or victory because our goal in playing any gambling is to enjoy the atmosphere. But indeed, poker games can make us forget to control ourselves but that will also depend on each player. If they could handle it, they could stop before they lost a lot of money.
I have seen that the majority of the population in terms of Bitcointalk players, not all of them are so wealthy, but that we still like casinos a lot, and gambling, it is because we like to have a lot of fun, but at least I do not have as much money to allocate it to risk in a casino, and because of that I have developed many techniques to take advantage of my situation and get the most out of casino games, and that does not ensure that I have big profits, because you lose more than you win, but if we see gmabling only with another mentality, as well as fun, we will spend little and enjoy more, something that very few who have a lot of money and spend a lot of money and lose it to feel happiness.
