Sometimes the hum of the machines and the flicker of the screens pull you in deeper than you planned. Video poker tournaments are my escape, but there are nights when the cards start feeling like anchors. You’re chasing that perfect draw, and the stakes creep into your head—money, time, focus. I’ve learned to step back when the game stops being fun. Set a limit before you sit down, maybe a dollar amount or a time cap. Stick to it, even when the royal flush feels one deal away. Last weekend, I walked away from a tourney early. Felt heavy, but the air outside was lighter than the weight of another hand. Anyone else got tricks to keep the balance?
