I agree with the sentiment below. It happens to all of us at some level. Either a blatant cash dash, or a really horrible lackluster session, or worse! (blackmail, robbery... )
I had an experience as well in San Diego YEARS ago and I learned my lesson. I *thought* I knew the game, knew the lingo, knew the verbal secret handshakes... all that stuff. I got cash-dashed out of $300. that was years ago and I took it as a lesson learned.

all the points made here are exactly what we all (and by that i mean me really) need to hear really - newbie or not - a wee refresher from anyone's mistake with good feedback is enough content to reboot the decision making process enough to make smarter safer choices - if it ain't safe, it ain't fun
OP - thanks for the refresher
