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.
I think one of the reasons why most of this gamblers do end up being bankrupt is because of so much addiction which would be eaten them to the core. Poker game is much of addiction and if we are not that careful then we can end up been a addictive which can as well make us go bankrupt one day. Excess bettings have there own detriment.
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.
