I’ve never had this problem. You just need some discipline or at least keep a separate poker bankroll and don’t gamble with money you can’t afford to lose.
I only play online, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do something like this, because I don't have true interests in playing casino games (I mean, blackjack is very fun, but I wouldn't play it if true money, and even if I decided to do it, I wouldn't spend that much).
I play poker almost every night. I play other gambling games, in particular slots, 2-3 times a month. And I play slots only if I managed to win something at poker. So, in order to spend money on slots, I need to win it at poker first 🙂
I can definitely see how that happens when you’re stuck waiting for a poker seat. 😂 The best move might be to treat the waiting time as part of the bankroll plan too, otherwise the poker buy-in can disappear before the first hand is even dealt.
