I agree with [B]CSLysander[/B] and how he has termed the 'condition' - a badge of honor'.

It is regarded by many that way. Even the likes of Daniel Negreanu talk about visiting Las Vegas the first few times and then scuttling back to Canada, tail between his legs, busted. Character building and all that. Really?

Most poker players laugh it off. In my opinion its all about the amount of gambler in a given player. Those who are hard core gamblers seem to think it a right of passage. As a non-gambler, I do not see it that way. I do not understand how anyone can lose their bankroll - it seems moronic to me.

Do not misconstrue what I am saying - it obviously happens all the time and people seem to find it acceptable. That is just not the world I inhabit. I tend to think from a more 'business' perspective and whilst suffering a setback is to be expected, if an entrepreneur kept gambling with his start up funds to the point of failure, you would take a dim view.

We all understand ebb and flow and variance. Gambling off your last cent seems like a call for intervention to me.
