Why do you keep playing the poker after losing huge money?

[uptrendfinancialsignal]

It’s always devastating to lose big amounts of money when playing the game. But why do you still go back to the tables? I want you to tell a story of WHY and HOW you come back after a down period and how do you employ proper money management?

I’ve had some bad beats in the journey but I don’t go hunting for losses. On the contrary, I step down from the game and check my moves and pick up one or two tips from my loses. Money management is also very important.

That’s a mature and responsible attitude when it comes to poker. It is just as important to know when to stop and take a break and reflect on the errors made as it is to focus on honing on what went wrong.

Well after a down period, I correct my mistakes as well as spotting the opportunities that are presented during the game. To ensure I do not continue pursuing losses, I avoid setting huge goals and I also prioritise bankroll management.

I put bankroll management above everything else, but I also have a similar thought process when I play, so I don't have any huge losses to my bankroll. I also only play tourneys, and if I don't have a deep run/nice score after a few buy-ins. I usually take a mental break.

Sure, that’s good discipline. Staying disciplined on money management and taking a break often will prevent big losses as well as burnout. I strongly believe this is a more reasonable approach to playing the game.

If you keep playing after losing big in any poker game, it means that you're being carried away by your loss and playing for revenge which doesn't go well 99% of the time.

I have never lost a very big amount on gambling, I know responsible gambling. I don't even play too frequently.

@Nomad I couldn't agree more. Pursuing lost money in poker will end badly for players. Whenever I noticed that I'm not getting it right, I review my approach, then choose smarter moves. Making hasty decisions while you are seeking revenge from losses will drive you further into financial trouble.

If I had to play it, I wouldn’t continue after losing a significant amount of money. It’s not practical, especially these days when life is harder for everyone.
