Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 6307900, member: 430261"] If Poker is causing problems with your relationship's with a spouse or other family members because you are losing money constantly then it is time to rethink your priorities and quit gambling all together. But if you are in profit and not losing money, where is the problem? I am 66 years old and have been playing Texas Holdem for over 20 years, before that I played many forms of card games sometimes winning , sometimes losing, But in all the time I have been gambling at Card games there has always been one strategy I always stick to and never cross the line. That is simply never lose more than you can afford, If I ever went out for a card game, I took enough money to throw away and decided before I started to play how much I could lose before giving it up, and never chase my losses, that is simple Bankroll Management. When I was on a roll and winning more than I lost I just kept going with the roll and only stopping when others quit the game, but if I lost the amount I had set aside for the game I would tell them I have had enough and to deal me out. Borrowing money off people to stay in the game is a slippery slope and can lead to bigger problems because you then owe money that you cannot afford to repay until the next payday, therefore you have to work harder to repay your debt before you start to earn money again. Play sensibly, Play responsibly and Play as long as you want to, but don't cross that line. I will continue to play as long as I can, in fact I said to my wife "When I die, bury me with a deck of cards and my Poker Chips" I can then die happy and still keep playing. Poker is Fun, and if you treat it that way there is no age limit to having fun. When the fun Stops, STOP! [/QUOTE]
