How much would it take to make you quit gambling forever?

[MikeLowry]

Sounds like a very basic question that has nothing to do on the psychology forum. However, I believe your answer greatly defines the reason you gamble in the first place. I have heard Daniel N. say that there is not a dollar amount that could make him quit playing cards. If his statement is true then it looks like making money is not Daniel's main motivation for playing poker. Agree? Disagree? So ask yourself this question and think deeply of your true answer. You may find out that you are not playing for reasons you orginally thought, which in turn could plug some leaks in your game. BTW I am not in anyway claiming to be a wealth of knowledge in this subject but, I recently thought this question over and came to see where the biggest leak in my game was. In turn I hope that making others aware of this I could possibly help someone else in making correct decisions at the table.
