Jesus Christ, grow some balls. I once lost $13K in about 30 minutes, and I didn't give a crap. My EV was about $460 and that's all that matters.

No, EV isn't all that matters. Expected utility is what matters. A situation where you could lose $13k will have a much different EU from one person to the next.

Just because you have a big enough bankroll to stomach a $13k loss doesn't mean you have more balls than someone who is hurt by much less.

Bankroll != balls.
