Like anything else in life, there is a right and a wrong time to buy a French Silk pie. For example, if your in-laws are coming over to eat dinner and remind you of all the men your significant other had passed up in order to make an honest man of you, a confection of this sort might be just the distraction you need. If you are on your third day of a diet, trying to prove the strength of your willpower by having this calorie laden waistline busting dessert in your refrigerator is probably a bad idea. When the moment comes that you realize soybean cakes just can't love you the way that chocolate and whipped cream can, the inevitable will happen. You will dive in, fork first. You will probably start somewhere in the middle, and not stop until you reach the outer crust.
This same paradigm of overindulgence can be applied to your poker game if you go into the casino with your entire bankroll.
For a poker player, going into the fray with the entirety of your bankroll means you have a 50/50 chance of needing to borrow cab fare to get home. The very nature of poker will cut down the odds of you losing the whole thing, in fact there is a good chance it may grow. The problem lies in those times when things are not going your way.
Everybody has an off day, and everyone is going to lose money. The problem is that human nature tends to make us want to stop the bleeding. In the case of a poker player, you are going to try to fix the problem by stuffing a wad of bills in the wound.
Players should budget their day at the table, and only bring a portion of their bankroll with them. If the day is going well, chances are money will not be an issue for the time you are there. If the day is going against you, your remaining bankroll is safe.
