As usual David you make a sweeping generalisation. Which points are invalidated? My point that a rookie golf pro would prefer to play the masters? My point that Tiger would prefer to play the US Open than hustle a CEO? My point that a poker player may prefer to play a big cash game because it may be against the best players or my point that playing in tournaments may be more +EV than it used to be? Overall my point is this: it is ok to play poker for more than just money. Pride and competition should be a prime motivator.

If money is the means by which the score is kept in poker, then it doesn't make sense to choose a negative EV situation simply out of "pride," or whatever.
