Is it hard to stop when you lose?

I think it's not difficult, you just have to have a head

Hello poker lovers.
I recently read articles about the lucky players of the Sunday Million. I decided to share one story that I am not able to understand.

We are talking about a player from Russia: I7AXA. Let me tell you, it was in 2011.
The player finished 2nd in the Sunday Million and won $150,000. Not bad. But the story doesn't end there.
I tried to find something about this guy. As it turned out, the player clearly did not shine, and was in the red by $7,500.

So what surprised me?
I7AXA did not use the money, but went to play at high limits. In less than a day, he lost everything. What? Is it really that hard to stop?

Why do you think this happened?

This is lack of discipline and experience as a poker player. Poker isn’t about addiction but a serious behavior as a worker does in any area of knowledge.
Some play for fun, some for addiction, some for gambling and this is not the goal of poker. The goal is to be close to professional behavior and thinking, making objective decisions not through emotions and weak desires.
As bigger the dream more chances the player has to fall.
