I am glad that finally such a topic has appeared where I can speak out on this matter, because due to frequent thoughts on this topic I have several contradictions to myself. A long time ago I won a small poker tournament for the first time, taking first place in it. And my first thought was to buy myself a present. I wanted a tablet. But then I thought that I should build on my success and play for the full deposit, but unfortunately everything was bad there, and I did not have time to please myself with a tablet. This mistake hit my pride hard.
Let's imagine that you had won $100 and withdrawn everything and the tablet cost $100, you would buy the tablet, but a few days later you would want to play again, you would deposit some money and lose everything, you would deposit again and lose everything.
In total you would lose more than $100, what I want to tell you is that you should not feel guilty for having continued to play instead of withdrawing the money and buying the tablet because even if you had bought the tablet you would still go back to playing and lose. The only way to profit from gambling is when you win a lot and stop playing forever.
