it always starts like that for me, but later I pick up the chip and go to the end, it's not worth it, it's like a disease. I realized that I would never be satisfied, and when I decide to either lose everything or take it will never be enough to take to get up, it’s a little confusing but that’s the way it is.
I start with the goal of a young chip, but I will not stop, simply impossible.

I am having similar problems when gambling. The main problem I notice is that I just don't value small winnings as much, my target in gambling is always to go for the big winnings. So I tend to play too long as usually just lose all the previous winnings from the day. It would be awesome to become a high roller one day. I love to watch documentaries about high rollers and their interaction with casinos. Getting free suites, dinners, concert tickets is such a cool lifestyle. There are so many goodies for the VIPs at a casino which all of us standard gamblers will never experience. High rollers are really lucky for such a life.

Sometimes it just looks good on the outside - the whole grass is greener on the otherside thing. I bet $3k on a Blackjack hand once to make up for a losing streak and Luxor didn't bother to even comp me for a room. It was at that moment I quit gambling in Vegas (at least Luxor) because they couldn't even be gracious hosts. One of the other people in my party is a high-roller and gets invited every weekend. He has messed up marriage. I'm happy to not be comped and have a nice family Cheesy

Been a high roller is good if you can manage it in term of buzz control, finance, family (marriage) etc cause some of the high roller have problem of failed marriage or addiction but I guess Mauser dont understand that everything about high rollers was not rosy as it seems to look like.
