It is absolutely certain that the best solution to such a problem for such a player would be a complete refusal to further participate in any gambling. However, far from all people can do this, especially if problems have already begun in the family due to too much loss and due to the fact that the player began to use the family budget money necessary for the normal life of all family members, children, of course, first of all . If such a player could not stop playing before such gambling costs, then it will be very difficult to recover further. Because such an addiction is definitely already a disease, and without a doctor and medicines, most likely he will not be able to recover without outside help.

However, the player must be able to stop even if he finds it difficult because it is for his own good and that of his family. He can't use the budget for his family because it can disrupt his family's finances. Maybe he can talk to family members so they can help him overcome his gambling addiction problem while accompanying him to go to a therapist. But this requires openness from the person to tell the truth about what happened to him. But the average person addicted to gambling will not tell others that he is addicted to gambling.

I would say that in the case of such results in the game of such a professional, you should not just take some kind of regular vacation for two weeks or a month. You need to take a much longer break from gambling. Well, like half a year. For half a year without gambling in a person’s life, a lot will change in any case, and a return to such professional activity will be more favorable and effective in terms of winnings, for the reason that during the specified period he will not completely forget his skills and abilities as a professional player and easily will restore them. But a long break will really "clean his brains" more effectively.

True, he needed a longer vacation than usual because he had been gambling for too long, and maybe he could enjoy his moments of rest with the long vacation. But it's even better if he can get the winnings from gambling so he doesn't have to think about the expenses for his vacation. And after sufficient rest, he can return to gambling and resume his activities. But it's better for him not to gamble anymore and to start his life by creating new activities that are not related to gambling. It would make him leave gambling for good.

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.

At least, we have to prevent ourselves from getting addicted like that player so that we can still play gambling as usual and don't have to worry if we get addicted. It does take time to reduce gambling addiction, but every gambler deserves it and needs to learn to be a responsible gambler when playing gambling. And because gambling has temptations that can draw the gambler deeper and deeper, that is why by having a responsibility, we can prevent those temptations from affecting us.

What you say it is true, there are many aspiring poker players which want to make a living out of it, and while it is possible they do not realize how hard it is, on most jobs even if they can be quite intense you still have some moments of relaxation here and there.

But poker is not like that, you need to keep your concentration for tens of hours each day, every day, without rest, and a single moment of doubt can be enough to produce high losses, in fact I would say this is probably the biggest hurdle for aspiring poker players, as remaining concentrated for so long is not an easy feat at all.

As long as they can have a responsibility while playing gambling and have the ability to control their emotions, they can just try it. But they must know that it is not easy because of the temptation of gambling that can make them keep coming back to gambling.

And it is true that in playing any gambling, we must rest after playing gambling for a while. That is to reduce tension during gambling and prevent loss of responsibility during gambling later. And it's better to play gambling in moderation so that we don't experience anything bad after we finish gambling.
