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.
This is too excessive and we need to make sure that we keep working on ourselves anytime we noticed that we are spending too much time gambling. Gamblers are nit meant to be addictive to gambling, we need to have a sense of understand and moderate way of gambling unless we might keep making the same mistake over and over again. We need to be responsible as a gambler so that those that are learning from us will be moderate in the way they gamble. There is spirit behind gambling and if we are not careful enough, we might become an irresponsible gambler that we don't ought to be.
