Re: How does poker change you?
To move up in stakes and be successful at those higher limits, you need to devalue the money you're playing with (to a certain extent). You can't obsess over losing 5 big blinds while playing, and likewise, you will begin to not worry about losing the equivalent of 5 big blinds in real life. It's unavoidable, and IMO, necessary for success if you want to move up to higher stakes.
You can't be a complete degen and completely devalue money... then you'll forever cycle between busto and robusto.
