Default Re: Getting tossed from a homegame for winning.

I almost shouldn't respond to this but for learning purposes I will. People play $10 tourneys for fun not $500 buy in cash games. These guys play 3 days a week with usually 4-5k in the game. There are a lot of things you can do for fun but poker is not one of them. Going on boat rides is fun or hanging out with your friends thats fun. At the poker table you're either playing just to win or you're playing to win money. Fun just happens to be part of the winning, even if its just winning 1 hand.

Fantastic post.

That's the hardest thing to make non-poker players understand about playing poker.

It's not about fun.
