Last time I gambled I was in one of the Indian casinos outside of Phoenix on I-10. (Gila River). I walked in with $400 and at one time had over $1600.

72 hours later I was falling asleep the guy to my left would nudge me and ask me if I were in, I just wanted it to end so I kept throwing chips in, raising and doing whatever I could to end it.

I did, it was my last time gambling. 7 years, 7 months 1 day and 14.5 hours as of right now.

Poker is a great game, but if you aren't careful it is every bit as addictive as heroin, cocaine and alcohol. My advice, play as long as it is fun but quit and never go back the second it becomes too serious and you keep saying "I'll go after this hand" yet, you play another 1/2 hour or more.

I envy those who can play, walk away and play again. I wish I could have. Poker was my lover for a long time.... I was damned good until I would get tired and just want to end it.... and ending it for me was losing it all, hence no more betting for me.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
