Gambling away your poker buy-in before the game starts?

THE EVER PRESENT TEMPTATION!

Every time I go to the casino to play poker , and I have to wait on a list to get a seat, I end up in the casino and gamble away. My buy in for poker before Poker⁩ even begins. Does anybody else have this very same problem?

I really have no interest in the casino games, much rather stay at the poker table.

You would just have to learn from it & next time be better. It actually happens but to happen every time is not learning the lesson .

Some tips:
1. Bring more money.
2. If the list is long to get seated, get out awhile & grab a coffee from Starbucks.
3. Stay in the area & watch a table playing.
4. Avoid roaming around the casino because if you are easily tempted a fool would soon be parted from his money.

Good luck buddy.

Sorry to hear this mate ... from what you have stated, it does appear that "discipline" may to be your issue. Lack of discipline can certainly also affect your poker playing too, does it?
We all have some kinds of weaknesses in our poker playing skills, I know I do.
GL on playing. See you on the felt.

Your problem is that you simply lack discipline. And this is indeed a problem that will never allow you to achieve consistently good results. You just have to understand that your discipline is the key to earning income from gambling. No discipline means no income.

Always register first to a game before playing slots....

I don't have that problem because when I plan to go gambling, I usually have a clear idea of what I'm going to play and how much I'm willing to spend. I rarely change my plans.

It did happen to me one time, but never again. I went to play a tournament. Bud since I had a room, I went one day before the event. I got there in the evening and figured I'd have some fun, then go upstairs, relax and be ready at 10am to play.
Unfortunately. I had a bad blackjack session and soon I was playing with the tourney buy-in. Lost it ofc and spent the rest of the evening watching some stupid TV till I fell asleep.

I play online, so I don't have that problem. But even when it comes to live casinos, I always go to play specific games and rarely pay attention to anything else.

I know the feeling. Waiting for a poker seat makes it really tempting to gamble. I try to avoid the casino floor until my seat is ready, you’re definitely not the only one with this problem.

No thats definitely something i would never ever do. You need to work in your discipline if you not want to end up completely broke.

I don't have that problem, but I think it could be for many. Luckily, I don't consider myself an anxious person, so I have no problem waiting.

This has happened to me too. Not every time, of course, but it did happen, especially when I was drinking. It's hard to stick to your plan when there's so much entertainment around
