If you must play, decide upon three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time.
-Chinese Proverb
I saw this chinese proverb and I thought it was a great set of things to think about when you are gambling, and even more important to follow if you choose gambling as a more than occasional hobby.
The Rules of the Game:
When gambling, you should know the basic rules of the game, the best strategic way to play that game and the odds of winning or losing. You should also know some etiquette of the game or at least be open for suggestions.
The Stakes:
Decide ahead of time how much money you wish to gamble and stay inside of your budget, just as if you were budgeting to see a play in the city.
The great part gambling as a hobby is that no one will pay you to go see a play in the city, that's what makes gambling such a unique hobby.

The Quitting Time:
When you head out to your local card room to play cards, you should predetermine an amount of time that you wish to play to avoid long sessions. If you were going to a movie you would allot a certain amount of time for the movie, do the same when you play cards.
By knowing the game, deciding the stakes and predetermining when quitting time will be, will make gaming a great hobby and a pastime that will at times pay you.
