Reading your last paragraph, I was able to determine the reason why the novice won the game. He wasn't anxious about winning. He played the calculative game and was not bothered if he won the round or not. Hence his ideas became accurate and calculated, due to the fact he was not rushing to win or prove a point to anybody. He also didn't care about what people would say, after all, he's a novice and the people are around cheering him up for his previous wins. His further loss won't matter. He never panicked about the outcome of the result. Compared to the professional gambler who wasn't at rest. He only needed to show his friends that the novice player couldn't win and he may have bragged the first time, that he wasn't serious and only allowed the novice to win the round. While he was trying to balance the game and the thoughts of the people watching the game, his mind was now compounded with different thoughts. He wasn't focusing on the game anymore.

Instead, what people are saying about him clamored his decisions and he made lots of mistakes which he won't give account for, even after losing the game. He's now on the verge of chasing losses and borrowing money just to win the novice. These two people have passed a message to gamblers. The winner, a novice gambler, didn't stress himself on the win. He even had in mind that he'd win the game. Playing for the fun of being with a professional was his first joy, and the win didn't bother him anymore. When one is less concerned about winning in gambling, he would make good decisions that can make him win from the predictions he's placed. While those chasing after the win may not win, and when they win, the money still goes back to the house. Because they don't get satisfied. The professional wasn't satisfied with the losses he had accumulated, that was why he went for a loan. Until he now came to his senses to stop and receive the shame of losing out to a newbie. I don't understand why some pro gambler would underestimate a newbie, without acknowledging the fact that gambling knows no newbie or a pro.

Most beginners don't think about losing and winning because they have no experience in gambling and only gamble because they are curious to see that people can win from gambling games. It encourages them to visit casinos and start depositing money for gambling. And when he is relaxed and not thinking about anything and just trying to gamble, there is a possibility that he can win because his mind is not thinking about anything. That's where some beginners can get their first win, but if they can't control themselves, they will also have the opportunity to lose the money they have won because greed starts to come in and tells them to gamble again after their first win. If he gambles against a professional gambler and wins, it might also be due to his luck.
In contrast, the professional gambler might let the novice gambler win to see his abilities. However, after playing several rounds of gambling, the professional gambler experienced a losing streak. And if he couldn't control himself and obeyed his ego, perhaps he would lose completely against the novice gambler.

That is why we should not underestimate the opponents who are playing with us and must be serious about gambling so that the results we get can also make us satisfied. The novice gambler, who is our opponent, will also feel satisfied because he has used his abilities to fight us, and even though he lost, he can learn a lesson from his loss. We can also learn that other people can be more skilled than us at gambling, and there will be people like that in gambling. And if we experience loss but cannot accept the loss, we might fall into gambling, and maybe we will also borrow money. That is a fatal mistake because, in gambling, we will not always be able to win, especially since there will be more skilled people than us. We must know ourselves and be able to decide to stop gambling even though we have experienced loss because by stopping, we are trying to prevent more losses.

I would call it a test of strength or a kind of exam for a professional player. If you endured it easily and did not succumb to emotions that affected the game, then OK. If you succumbed to emotions and started making wrong decisions that the player would not have made if he were calm, then you need to continue to learn and improve.

It is also important to remember this moment. Probably when professionals watched this excerpt, some recognized themselves in his place and laughed. However, it was a shame for those who, because of this situation, were forced to end their career as a professional player.

A professional will not be easily affected by his emotions just because he lost in a gambling game. He will remain calm even though he has lost, and if he sees that he has no chance of winning, he will immediately end his gambling game and leave the casino. He understands that there must be other gamblers who are more skilled than him, so he cannot force himself to continue gambling because the result may be that he will suffer more losses.

There is a time for professional gamblers to continue gambling. And there comes a time for a professional gambler to stop gambling because he cannot continue gambling all his life. His position as a professional gambler will be replaced by someone else who is more skilled than him, so he must be able to understand it. A professional gambler will understand the situation and choose to resign as a professional gambler. It's enough for him to gamble, especially if a replacement exists.
