Re: Poker throwing off my sense of proportion with money
Where can I get a 12-pack of Pepsi for $3.60?
Deciding what stakes to play is when you need to think about the money as real money. Once you made the decision to sit down at a table, whether it's .05/.10 micro limits or $200 NL, it's all about +EV decisions and the real-life value of your bets don't (shouldn't) count. On the flip side, there is no monetary +EV in going out to eat at a restaurant (there may be emotional +EV {if you don't eat like a slob} ), but you're not going to make money by spending foolishly, just like wild aggression at the table is sure to fail. So, make your real-life spending reflect your poker play: reduce -EV situations, money you don't spend (losing bets you don't call) is money you earn.
Crap, starting to sound like a 2+2'er.
