Even professional players need help. A short story that I saw just yesterday.
There is only one poker blogger that I rarely watch. He has 3 children and leads a healthy lifestyle, which attracts me. So he decided to arrange a marathon to earn a certain amount in 20 days. Yesterday he started the last days of the marathon and was closer than ever to the goal to win it, but after spending 11 hours on the stream, he lost everything he had won before in this marathon and went into the red. Even though he has 15 years of professional poker experience. Now he wrote that he needed the help of a psychologist because he could not cope with this. This shows how difficult it is even for professionals with great experience.
Anyone will need help, even a professional. Spending 11 hours playing poker must be so tiring he needs a break, even if it's just for a little while. He was risking too much by spending 11 hours even though he was close to his goal, but it was not worth it. And finally, he needed the help of a psychologist to cure him. This proves that, after all, we must take full responsibility for ourselves, especially in playing gambling, where we can continue to be tempted to play. And you give a real example of how someone is tempted to achieve the target he wants in gambling.
The break is really needed. At least in order to disperse the flow of blood to the brain and other reasons. Apparently he was simply absorbed by the excitement of this marathon. It's safe to say that he failed. But what was my surprise when he announced a new marathon today, and he set the conditions there that he would easily complete the last one. This is to make him feel confident again when he does it. And this will heal his moral wounds from the last marathon.
For those who are interested. The graph of how he went well and then fell into the abyss in 1 day:
