Default Re: Why do can good/tight poker players play -EV table games?

[ QUOTE ]
Money is a tool and a toy to good poker players. It's not something "real". Why would they care if they dropped $50K on blackjack when they can just go get it back at the poker tables (or at least so they think)? That plus the need to feel the rush of the gambool and it's easy to see why the traits that make someone great at poker leave them busted in real life.

If they are such degenerate gamblers, how do they resist making poor plays at the poker table just because they feel like gambooling? Why would they voluntarily make bets that are -EV at table games, but not make those same -EV bets at a poker game?
