Default Re: Poker throwing off my sense of proportion with money

[ QUOTE ]

I just recently told someone how some of my buds think it's odd that I can have a grand or 2 on a table, yet hem and haw over a purchase at a store for only a fraction of that.

I'm similar to that. I have about 3k now in my bankroll online, but I never think of that as "real" money. I might have $1000 in play at 3-4 tables and I don't ever really think of it as money. It's more like my score. I'm annoyed when my score drops, happy when it goes up.

Now, 3k in my real life, that's HUGE! I suppose its a good thing my mind divorces the two. If I worried about $20 here and there at poker I'd be a crappy player.
