Do you enjoy gambling?
 

Someone offers you even money on a coin flip. Do you take it? Do you just like betting on things in general? I have some follow-up comments on this idea, but I'll save them for later. For now:

This is not a black and white issue. If I think gambling now will get me action with an overlay in the future I'm going for it. If its just volatility I'm not.

Hi muck_nutz,

So if I read you correctly, you don't enjoy gambling, but do it to increase your edge in poker. That's really what I'm asking.

Do you enjoy the thrill of gambling? Do you like roulette? Do you enjoy craps? That kind of thing. Sounds like the answer is no for you.

I don't like gambling in general, but sometimes I dis-like watching from the sideline enough, that I slip and play J3s.

I'm not a huge fan of "Follow the queen with two ghost hands".

For me it would all depend on the stakes. I mean, I enjoy gambling, but I wouldn't [censored] anything significant up. Like my life.

That's too mindless. I don't mind slightly -EV gambling if I at least have to put thought into it (BJ, it's -EV cause I don't count cards very well), or if its very social (like craps).

i dont enjoy gambling neutral situations. i think that the people who do find pleasure in gambling have a significant edge in poker than those that dont assuming that they can control their emotions. they will naturally find enjoyment playing the game to greater extents than those that dont enjoy gambling.
