asking this because the answer for me is yes and i've never seen anyone else admit it...
not the bet placed in a bad emotional state... not the bet where the analysis was wrong... the deliberate one... the bet placed knowing it was poor...
the specific version: a bad run... five or six consecutive losses... the account smaller than it should be... the analytical framework saying don't bet tonight, nothing qualifies...
and placing something anyway... something i knew was poor...
why...
the closest i can come to an honest answer: the extended uncertainty of not betting felt worse than the certainty of a clean additional loss...
the bad run that kept being possibly over without being over: the deliberate bad bet ended it...
not with a win... with a definitive loss that the specific session was now over...
the psychological mechanics of the deliberate loss as an exit mechanism from an unbearable in-between state...
whether anyone else has done this... and whether they have a different explanation for why...
