Do you ever go back after a bad session even when you said you wouldn’t?

Had one of those sessions recently where I lost a lot more than I planed and told myself that’s it for a while… and then ended up back the next day anyway.

Feels stupid after but in the moment you just think you can win it back.

Does this happen to others or do you actually stick to your limit?

it happens in the head, but it shouldn't happen in reality. if you lose - that's a bad day. try another time or when it's okay for you.

I think this happens to many people, it's a trap that happens in our heads.😀

I would agree, but I also think it’s a sign of addiction, if not a clear indicator.😕

I agree, I think it can definitely be a slippery slope if you’re not careful.

For me it’s usually those "almost wins" that are the most dangerous. You feel like you were so close and that the next one might hit, so you keep going a bit longer than planned. I think a lot of people experience that.

The key is just knowing when to stop and sticking to it.

I’ve also had sessions where I was up quite a bit and then gave a lot of it back just by playing longer. It can still be a winning day, though frustrating since a good chunk of the win was lost.

Yeah, the "almost win" feeling is a dangerous one. I call those "near misses." It creates the illusion of closeness, even when you’re not, and it’s easy to get pulled into playing longer because of it. That’s why having a clear stop point matters so much. However, from my personal experience, I always found it difficult to actually stop playing in this flow. It was pretty quick to get into this, to be honest.
