And it's important to remember that if they didn't win every so often they wouldn't bother.

A mate of mine used to deposit £x at the start of every month as his poker fund. Normally it was gone by the 20th but SOMETIMES it wasn't! Then you get de-sensitised to losing this, get a better job whatever and start depositing £2x.

I think the games are probably a bit better on the last weekend of the month, rakeback days etc. as people have new money to spend for this reason (I think anyway).
