I have applied this type of psychology always with option 1 and I play without stress. If I lose, I assume my loss, and if I win, it's like lifting a trophy. Do you think it's a way to escape from that little pressure that is exerted when playing? Have you ever applied this type of psychology?
I never applied any of the psychology related to gambling because now, I can play gambling without emotion. I know that it will be hard for the first time, but if we keep practice, we can always control the emotion especially if we are got pressure from the other player.
Maybe we can play for fun only, and so far, when I am thinking like that, I can prevent from chasing the money purposes. And as what you did, I don't think seriously in the gambling games.
