well, it's an attitude, and I'd say that guy lost his edge. Everybody has trouble with balancing their lives, not just poker players.

11377,

You are still acting like in these bets there isn't a bettor getting the best of it.

Making someone fold the better hand is a skill, just like convincing Danny boy to bet you in golf is a skill.

So thayer, do you think that maybe some of guys have a gamboling issues ? I'm not saying all of them but is it possible some of these guys take it a bit over board? I don't doubt there skill in manipulating people to place bets that they probably can't win or that they have an edge on them.

When do you draw the line, when it comes to gamboling?

What do you think of adam's picture? just curious?

according to phil ivey he said if you want to be a good poker player you have to have a disregard for money.

Yo have to be willing to even burn a 100 dollar bill like its nothing. Don't quote me exactly, someone said he said 1,000 bill, but it was 100 bill.

pretty sick...

Yes, some of them have gambling problems.

I'm sure Adam holds the memory and value of that picture at much more than $100 so it's probably also worth it.

I think most people will draw the line in gambling when it has an affect on their personal life. When they start playing games where they don't have an edge and/or when they can't afford to lose with the money they are playing.

OP,

The secret to being a winning poker player isn't in being a huge degen. It's in being a really good poker player, or in some circumstances simply much better than everyone else in your proximity.
