Re: Are all poker players degenerates?
[ QUOTE ]
Probably the worst thing about poker players, myself in particular, is that I am constantly targeting weak players and exploiting their weakness. That's not exactly altruistic. I just have to keep reminding myself that the people I am playing with are by and large looking for some entertainment, and playing with money they can afford to lose (to me).

Over the years I've been amazed at how many people I've met, who fly to Vegas with thousands of dollars to gamble away. And they expect to lose it. To them, it's considered recreation, and they're thrilled if they break even or are only down a few hundred. For some, it's like a hobby that they pour money into for entertainment, like you stated. Look at it like this, you're getting paid to teach them... I know I've learned a lesson or two the hard way.
