This hand made me sick

[bambi]

Not sure were this post is going but anyway we will see.

Playing 6/12 live i am dealt JJ i raise get a few callers, flop comes J64 i bet and get two callers, next card the 6 repeats, EP leads into me i raise, third player calls and the EP folds, river J i hit quads, i bet and get called,

Guess by what, Just guess. He shows 97, this old guy was a drunken idiot.

The problem is i feel really bad about taking this mans money, and i know your all going to say, its his own fault, which i agree, but i just cant help feeling that he is a degenerate gamblor, who obviously has a problem which many people say is a disease. And i have just done nothing to help him. I cant help but think there is some relative at home who needs a new lung or something, but they cant afford it because he has a problem.

Does anyone else feel this? i really enjoy playing poker but i really dont like this aspect at all, i would much rather play against great players who could afford to lose.

I see this as a bit of a problem with extending my poker play.
