I really don't care if people in my games are ruining themselves gambling. Sound cold? Sorry, but when they sit in the game, their goal is to take my money and the money of everyone else. If their complusiveness allows them to make a big score by sucking out, they won't feel the least bit guilty about it. And if my solid play sends them home broke to the wife and kids, I won't feel bad at all. When you start playing mid limits, the amt of money is truly enough to hurt some people (and others are just loaded and can afford to gamble). The fact of life is that poker is an ugly game for many and a moneymaker for a few. If you can't tolerate it, poker for anything beyond fun might not be the activity for you.
