I have been playing poker for money for years and while I enjoy the game itself it makes you devalue money. I mean, you can’t look as the money in front of you as money but instead chips with monetary value.
Money becomes relative. Say you go to a game where there is a couple thousand on the table and you lose $200. While $200 is a lot comparatively speaking to the other players a -200 night might not be so bad.
Then in real life money doesn’t have the correct value which leads to careless spending.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy playing poker for money and it is the best way to play with good players…I’m not talking about quarters games but legitimate money. I enjoy the game and playing with good players I just think after time money loses its real value.
If you have ever watched an episode of high stakes poker you know what I am talking about. Blinds are at least $200/$400 with a $100 ante.
