Re: I just tilted away half my bankroll in 5 minutes, laugh at me
When I lost 1/3 of my 21K bankroll a few months ago and put the rest on red (it came up 2, black) the real pain came not from the fact that I had lost x amount of money, but because I lost some self-respect. 'How could I be such a fvking idiot to lose control of my emotions like that' was what really hurt, even though I didn't know it at the time.
Realizing you are not as emotionally strong as you thought is not easy to cope with, however, if you know that is what you must come to terms with, it is easier. Do NOT beat yourself up over this. It is not indicitive of your character as a person, which is the most important thing.
