Default Re: Almost there with Success and Failure (Long)

That’s some love-fest from the follow-up posts. However, there’s a fundamental problem with it.

If all we’re talking about is blood, sweat, and tears, such as with playing football or similiar, then the argument holds up. However, many poker players have financial hardships resulting from their play, and continuing to play is sometimes not a mark of perseverance but of stupidity. Particularly when their livelihoods (or marriages) are at stake. This is where being a “quitter” is the best thing, rather than rationalizing oneself into financial and/or relationship oblivion.
