No wonder people have problems gambling!

I was playing in a $30 sit n go tonight. I ended up losing my flush to the full house and getting knocked out. I decided I had enough for the night so I click the x on the corner of the application to close it out. As it closes I get this pop-up, "Why stop now, play some blackjack" All I had to do was click the screen and BAM. . I am in the casino. So I played for awhile and I won $12,000.

OK, I actually lost $3, but it would have been cool to win 12,000!

Anyways, the moral of this whole story is damn. . . Can't they just leave us alone? LOL

Where did you draw that conclusion from. I am doing very good in poker, fair in baseball.

By the way, much better avatar then the one you had earlier.

You might want to check your machine for spyware....I've never seen that ever at Bodog.

He's right

I played there tonight, I was in the 7500 garauntee. I was the chips leader when the field was down to 80 or so, I was so pumped. I was like oh ya man, I'm gunna crack the final table, I'm gunna win this thing and knock 2 dimes. Good spending money for Vegas.

But a couple of tough hands and I busted out and walked away with just 40 something bucks.

I was down on myself, I was like why do I bother I am horrible at this. lol. so I log out and it says "Why stop now, play some blackjack" . I was like, WTF man. I've suffered enough of an ordeal, it was funny to me. Luckily I resisted.

lol I felt the same way last night. I played in a 81 person tourney. Ended up taking 3rd place, but 1st place was $500 and I was chip leader almost the whole time. By the end of the thing taking 3rd place after 3 hours of play just wasnt good enough!

Kruser6, this thread reminds me of something I learned the hard way about gambling a long time ago....there is NEVER a time when it feels good to leave the casino.

If you're up, you say to yourself, "Why would I leave now in the middle of a winning streak?"

If you're down, you say to yourself, "I can't leave now, I have to at least get back to even."

If you're even, you say to yourself, "I can't quit now, I'm even, I might as well have not even come in here if I have the same $$ I came in with."

I must have an addictive personality, because I still find myself falling into the same logic traps today. Probably the worst thing for me is that I only go to the casinos once every month or so, so when I get there, I want to keep playing just for the fun of it when I SHOULD get up and walk out. But I am a recreational gambler, and it's all for fun anyway.

Keep up the good work in Hold `em. You'll eventually get the cards for that big night you've been waiting for.....as long as you're not going broke trying to do it!
