    I once lost ~15k during a high-stakes poker tournament. Had another buy in and won it all back with a big plus (3rd place).

    I rarely play for money, but when I do, I play hard like a sledgehammer to your ankles.

    There’s a reason why none of my friends want to play poker with me, even if it’s just a fun game for like 10 €.

    I learned from some of the best. I only run a fun game once a year on New Year’s Eve these days. Like, 5 € and you’re in for a fun hour or so.

        The weird thing, though, is the fact that I keep my usual money and my poker bankroll money very separately.

        The gambling money is for just that: Gambling fun. Even in case it’d ever run dry, I’d never touch my normal life bank account with a ten-feet-pole-stick.

        Maybe that’s the secret behind ‘healthy’ gambling? Idk…
