Default Re: Gambling or Poker?

I'm sorry man but I don't get it.

First you create an impossible hypothetical situation then generalize that even though it's a pretend world all good gamblers have to pretend that their bankroll money is life or death?

(IN THE REAL WORLD)

A good gambler would gamble with only money he is willing to lose whether it is lost while one learns the nuances of the game or whether it's lost by an unavoidable yet brutally long bad run of cards and suckouts. A smart professional player can support himself outside of poker but chooses to gamble because he can afford it, he or she realizes that poker is gambling and nothing besides.

A good gambler you say??? WTF are you talking about dude? For a professional poker player, it's only gambling if they are playing outside of their bankroll. So you're trying to say that all professionals realize that poker is gambling but nothing more? Jeez with all those posts you have I would have expected better...
