One of the advantages of playing poker tournaments is that one knows the cost ahead of time.

If the tournament costs $100 then that is what you will spend (or invest) into the tournament. Maybe add ons? Ok, now $120. Maybe lunch? Ok. Now $140

Do you set limits on casino games including poker cash games?

When going to play a tournament, I'd take with me the cost of the buy-in plus whatever I need for other expenses.
For cash games, I always take enough for 2 bullets.
But I learned not to take the bank cards with me.

of course if there is no limit then everything is at high risk, it is true in every situation in life

I don't spend much time in casinos but I would absolutely have a spending limit, if you don't then you can easily find yourself trying to win back what you've lost when you're in the hole and the hole keeps getting deeper and deeper.

Having a strict and firm mindset of "I have $400 to play with, win or lose, once that's gone I'm going to get up and walk out and not drop a penny more" will keep you out of a lot of trouble.

Yes, I always have a spending limit for an evening or a session. I always set aside a certain amount and never spend more than that. This is a rule I never break. Life has taught me not to break my own rules because it costs too much :)
