It doesn't say that anywhere in the OP. It only says that you have no more funds online and you found yourself sitting in front of a slot machine for a while, that is next to the one your friend is playing on. You got tempted and you played, that's all.EarnDAStack said:
You're right, a poker player shouldn't even approach a slot machine. But in this situation, we're talking about someone who plays poker online and only found himself/herself in the casino by a chance. People have the right to have $50 in their pocket. $50 that has nothing to do with poker.EarnDAStack said:
You're good then it sounds like you answered your own question.najisami said:
You said you went to the casino to check it out not to play then ended up playing.
It's not my money it really doesn't matter to me what you do. If this is a rhetorical question then I answered the question,
"A friend invited you to go to a casino with him and you did, just out of curiosity, not to play anything. But after sitting next to him and watching him spin and spin at this slot machine, you got tempted and you pulled the only $50 you had out of your pocket. A minute later, it was inside the machine in front of you and you were spinning too"
That doesn't sound like someone who found their way into the casino by chance it sounds like someone who can't control their actions when stimulating sights and sounds are put in front of them and I wouldn't recommend them taking any form of gambling seriously.
Anyway I guess I would just say OP made the right decision because that's what OP did what he wanted with the $50
In cash games the “level” (the blinds/stakes) is not automatically increased like in tournaments. Promotion to higher stakes is at your own discretion and is based on strict bankroll management, measured in the number of big blinds (BBs) or buy-ins.
Bankroll Management Rules (in Big Blinds)
The common recommendation for bankroll management in no-limit hold'em cash games is 30 to 50 full buy-ins for the desired level. A standard buy-in is usually 100 big blinds.
Here are the guidelines for when you should consider making the switch:
Conservative approach (recommended): Have at least 50 buy-ins for the next limit in your bankroll. If a buy-in is equal to 100 BBs, you will need 5,000 BBs for the higher limit before switching.
Average approach: Many players use a guideline of around 40 buy-ins.
Risk-taking approach: A few very experienced and well-performing players take the plunge with just 20 buy-ins.
For Tournaments youll need 200x of Buy in in Background. Dont play!

They have built some of the most beautiful hotel/casinos in Las Vegas and all around the world primarily from slots…it’s the biggest money maker for most casinos…Fallsview Hotel/casino in Niagara Falls got rid of their poker room and replaced it with many slots and a few tables. I spoke to the General Manager of the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas…he told me that poker was a losing game for them, but they made more money from the spouse, friends or partner spending time at the slots…that might give you an idea of where to spend your entertainment dollars.CRStals said:
For me 200$ is good bankroll for poker , I play very small stakes , micros or nanos , I might play a higher stakes or buy in game if I win a ticket for free or cheap via a satellite. Most of the times my bankroll is between100$ and 300$ .
If I won 200$ with a 50$ initial deposit ? It depends on the| mood . Most times I would stop . But sometimes I might[ go for more . If I see that the slot has stopped paying , then I stop
