The goal is to minimize, especially the big ones.
So early on, you know, as basically as, you know, as a teenager, I was playing Toronto and then in my early twenties, I'm like, I'm going to Vegas.
And I thought I was the best.
I'm like, check me out.
Show up with $3,000, 24 hours later, you know, money's gone.
And I remember, I remember the moment vividly.
It was at the Binion's horseshoe.
It was about three in the morning.
I was playing with seven other people.
You know, I lost my last chips.
I went to the bathroom, washed up,
got out, they all left.
And it was like a moment where I realized like, okay, in Toronto, I was the big fish, but here they were playing because of me.
I remembered every one of their faces.
And then I remember not having enough money to get back to budget suites where I was staying.
So I walked, I didn't, you know, I walked.
