I remember this lady buying a 3card table at Hawaiian Gardens. They roped it off and she sat down with 300K. Watched for about ten minutes, went out for a smoke and as I was coming back through, she was just loosing the last of that stack. Made me think she caught her husband wit another lady, or some sort of vengeance.

Just went right through it. POOF...

I agree with most here as far as casino games go, but for poker I think it's more of a hump. Most folks can't afford to get over the hump. Or don't have the perseverance to continue when they loose everything. :eek:

I'm not saying that you have to loose it all to get there, but you do have to get close before you get over the hump. Kinda like dues.

Every level (TO ME) in poker is really just a series of learned lessons. You don't have to get your top 2 zapped by a set too many times before you recognized it. And most folks don't learn from advise. They have to get zapped before it goes into their game.

Loosing everything can be two things to a player. It can be an obvious clue that your an addict and it's time to seek help. Or it can be a lesson learned, never to be crossed again. Most rich poker players were poor due to poker at some point.

Just a matter of perseverance to me. You wanna talk (go to meetings) or play poker? If you have nothing,.. whats you got to loose?  :o

If you've lost your home, wife, family and dignity due to poker. You gonna whine like a sissy, and waste all your lessons learned, or you gonna get back in there and put a bruising on em?  :p
