This may seem like a strange topic to write about but losing is part of any competition.

I always felt that it's best to maintain a positive attitude when undertaking engaging in any activity, whether for fun, or business. There's no point to starting out with the wrong attitude, so by all means be positive, feel like a winner, but always realize that you're not going to come out on top all the time, in all your pursuits.

The goal is to win, but you must have fun, and realize that when gambling, the money you bet is payment for entertainment; if you win, it's a bonus

Tom Pitkethly is a regular guy from Hailey, idaho who loves poker, and this past July he realized a dream and entered the "World Series of Poker."

Although it cost him 10 grand, plus airfare, room, and other costs, and he lost, Tom came away from the experience a happy guy.

Now I don't know about you, but 10K is a lot of money to me, but obviously Tom could afford this kind of play dough, and he made the most of it.

This guy has it right; gambling, of any sort, and Las Vegas in particular, is about having fun, and that's just what he did, he had 10+ thousand bucks worth of fun.

So, set your limit, never gamble more than you can afford to lose and you'll be relaxed and have fun playing poker, or whatever your game is.

Here's another story about a fun poker trip to Las Vegas.

This one is about a guy and his girlfriend, who entered the $22.00 buy-in, daily poker tournament at "The Luxor."

Read this story and see how much fun you can have with a far more modest bankroll.
