In fact, I wound up winning about $5 from him in the pineapple game, and this didn't bother me in the least. However, if this guy had been annoying or abusive at the table, I wouldn't have thought twice about taking him up on his challenge, for $5 or $5,000.

The value of money is subjective. That $30 may have amounted to twice his total net worth, in which case your $5 win took a huge chunk out of him. Or he may have been a multibillionaire. You are trying to judge the value of a loss of a certain amount of money based on your idea of what that money is worth, but the loss means something different to each person based on how much they have. I don't understand why you would try to judge money this way.
