It's what I do for live poker for the last decade or so, I bring 3 buy-ins (100BB each) and that's that, I can't chase jack even if I wanted to after I lose that.
Problem solved.
Thanks for your input, Benjola.........That is real good advice, and it's not something I haven't heard before; I just have to do it; I think in the past I was just kidding myself that I had self control, but we know what that foolishnesss resulted in......kinda like living in denial, I guess....
It's similar to my experience with going to GA many years ago; I decided I wasn't like everybody else there, because my situation wasn't as extreme as the stories I was hearing (losing everything, car, house, family, etc.) so I stopped going, and went right back to gambling, and although I never lost
everything all at once, I've probably lost at least the equivalent of a house over the
56 years I've gambled........
