Message: [QUOTE="DomeHolmes, post: 5192431, member: 10113"] This would be my explanation. (Poker Player) This week I spent $300 for game tickets and had fun (but was tortured) why would anyone do that to themselves? Could have watched on TV free. We do it for the thrill. spent $300 at Spago and had a nice time (but as nice as that was, still feels like a rip off). Who would spend $300 on food I could buy for $20? We do it for the experience and to make the wife happy. if I lost $300 at the poker table but had fun, no sweat, to me, its all entertainment. If you are addicted and cant stop playing and losing, you have a totally different problem, but that’s a different discussion. I generally do not like to play games against the house. In poker you’re playing other players and you could take money from the tourists. Harder to take money from the house.. No accounting class needed to invest. [/QUOTE]
