You got a point I did put that like a jerk - what I really meant is only having 1000$ life savings and then taking these 1000$ to the casion = sucking at life [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Happens ALL the time.

I dealt blackjack and a pretty small-time low-stakes casino for a few months.
Some regulars would come in and put down what is obviously their rent-money and either try to double-it or bust-out.

Not difficult to connect the dots when the player is still wearing their uniform from McDonald's or the grocery store, goes to the cage to cash their paycheck, and then loses it all and slinks off for home.

It's pretty damn sad and it goes on all the time.

I'll leave the discussion for how different it is or isn't in poker to you guys.

Just responding to the part about the losers-in-life blowing through their rent-money or $1k life-savings: Not at all uncommon.
