Self Discipline.

You have to understand your limitations and know when to at the very least step back.

Bank Roll Management. Know what levels you should be playing and don't over step them.

Know when you just need to lay down something cause it's not good for you.

Honestly to me it sounds like you were hard up for cash, saw a chance at some easy money, took a shot and went down hard. I'm not sure of your situation but I can tell you that is the wrong way to look at this game.

Poker and all gambling should only be done if you can lose the money. If thats not the case, then you have no business playing with it. I hate to sound like this but you need to man up and get your act together. If your trying to play cards to settle debts that's the absolute wrong step here.  If you want to keep playing you have to remember its just a game, and you have to be able to walk away from a table when you feel you might not be able to play your best due to a big loss/finance pressure/ other concern.

If you honestly believe you lack the self discipline to limit your own play, then I strongly recommend getting help.  It might seem like I'm calling you weak or something for not being able to handle the problem yourself, but handling it with the help of someone else is an infinitely smarter move than failing at handling it yourself.
