    I don't even know what to say. Its hard to describe what I feel into words. Hard to imagine ever going on a run like that again, it was incredible. I won for 2 weeks striaght playing baccarat, just kept hammering them. Its not even about the money at that point, apparently I just wanted to keep feeling the rush. I can't believe I didn't put the money to good use. Someone shoot me.

      Been there, bro. The rush is real, and it’s easy to lose track when you're riding a heater. Don’t be too hard on yourself — learn, reset, and bounce back stronger.

        You degened it up for 5 weeks, felt a rush, and somehow ended up with more money than you started with. That's not bad. Now that you're upset it seems like a great time to take a long break from -EV gambling.

        Best Wishes to you.

            How many holes did you wreck during the winning streak?

                  I've done this a couple of times within hours not weeks. In the end they get it all back if you don't have any goal.

                      I did this during COVID with NFL Sims. Turned $2k into $140k. During this time books limited withdrawal amounts so I knew I would have had to do a ton of withdrawals so instead gave it all back including the $2k I started with. This entire episode lasted about 4 days.

                        That's so true.

                        If I want to play blackjack (player-friendly rules) at a ten-dollar table with a 400-dollar bankroll, I'll always ask myself at what point do we bail? 250 or so?

                        You need an endgame going in.

                            The only problem with this is that with this kind of mentality I would have never won the 1110k to begin with. Where do you draw the line?

                              It's really all an illusion our brains make of it. You didn't just sit down to play with the intentions of making $110k, just like you didn't keep playing with the intentions of losing it all back. It just "happened"

                                Sounds like me. Sorry man.

                                Like biggie said, usually I give it all back within a few hours or a day or 2. At least you got to feel the rush for a few weeks.

                                And I agree, if you had a limit like nash suggested, you would have never ran up to 110k. You have to not worry about the money to go on a run but at some point we have to just find a number and say, f it I'm stopping...easier said than done.
