What’s up everyone, I’ve been playing poker recreationally on and off since 2003. The cycle I’m breaking is playing with money I can’t afford to lose. Must be patient and build a bankroll specifically for poker only. Anther cycle I’m breaking is going to play in the pits (casino table games) due to financial difficulties in hopes of winning so that I can relieve any financial stress that I’m facing. I never play in the pits for fun or enjoyment, it’s always due to a financial need that I’m trying to meet. More often than not it doesn’t work out and I find myself in even a deeper hole. I must focus on getting my finances in order and building a poker bankroll. And once I do that, there won’t be a need to play casino games in an attempt to get a quick score in order fulfill my financial responsibilities. Thank you for this space/community Joe. Peace and love.
