I can't criticize that because you didn't state what your objective was before going in. But given your track record, I believe a good bet would be that you either had none--or made one up on the go. And probably because you just couldn't bear the thought of pulling yourself away from the machines. However, that's very, very common among vp players, and it greatly contributes to why casinos don't go broke. At least you made something, which is always far better than losing anything.
