We all have many stories connected to this, but why do we do things that we don't like, and don't even have to do?
For example a moment ago I played Sping&Go, and even I won there is more what I dislike than what I like. Its not even easy to see what is pot, and what is prize-pool.
I guess its about habits, and emotions. I could analyze a bit further, but I'm not in that mood, and I don't want to write a new thread about 'why don't we do'.
human nature; some people say psychologically and subconsciously, we really want to do it, even if it is losing; listen to Steely Dan's "Do It Again".....
It's excitement, and it's addictive. People with mania talk about how good it feels to be in that state.
But while excitement makes us see more possibilities it can also make us impulsive, and making impulsive decisions with money has consequences. Honestly, I Phil Hellmuth isn't a top class player because he doesn't handle his emotions well. You have to resist the addictive aspects and be disciplined, and it's hard.
