People keep saying the money is going from stupid to smart. But once you play 30/60 and up you're making most of your money from players good enough to win at the lower limits, but in over their heads here. Sure there are some donks, but if you're only beating the donks you're losing overall.

If I knew someone was playing with money borrowed from the mob, or had seriously overdrawn their credit cards I would feel bad. Otherwise I see the reshuffling of money as a neutral. I also feel if they can take the time to put a couple grand online to play they probably have a decent source of income so can make back whatever they lose.

I don't think pro poker players contribute any more to society then a trust find kid does. Which is to say nothing, unless they contribute outside of poker.
