Whenever my parents went to Vegas, my father would always come home with a bundle. When he would win a good size pot, he would walk away and go do something else for a few hours. He might then come back and play some more but he never touched his winnings. He would take a certain amount there to gamble with and that was it. If he lost that amount, then he was done. He always came home with at least triple what he brought. How he managed to walk away from the tables is beyond me.
Walking away with cash is more than 50% of the skill you need. I deposited $200 3 years ago and haven't redeposited since. I cashed out about $2k, but then lost over $1k in a month. I was down to my last $.10 and built it up to $700 in a week and lost it all except $.35 again in 2 days going on tilt. I can't stop once I get going, which is bad, especially when I play 4-5 games at a time.
