      I lost a $1,200 heads up pot with my AAA beat by flush on river in Texas Holdem after building up my $250 stack of chips over 5 hours of playing. It made me feel sick! I'm not going back to the casino.

    Because of the random outcome of winning, it could be your next play. That's what keeps a person glued to their slot machine. I've seen people get very protective, especially if they have been sitting for hours and they know how much money they've got invested. No way are they going to let someone win all their money by walking away if they can help it.

    Watching and listening to this made me physically sick. Poker machines should all be banned as they trap the vulnerable and profit from the misery of others
