Re: Poker throwing off my sense of proportion with money
Funnily enough, I just finished the Al Alvarez book about poker, 'The Biggest Game in Town'. There's a section in it about how high rollers lose monetary perspective - one goes in a hamburger place, and only has hundreds and they can't break it for him! Another has a photographer trying to sell them pictures for $75, and they all grumble cos they got no change, so he just changes the price to $100, and they're all happy to pay!
Good book!
