Re: blatant disregard (disrespect?) for money
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Obviously the answer is yes. [/ QUOTE ] but that doesnt mean I think what you are doing is not smart. Your time is now more valuable when measured by opportunity cost, so proceed accordingly. [/ QUOTE ] Exaclty. The nature of online poker is that you have as much work as you want, anytime you want it. It therefore presents a rather pure example of opportunity cost. If you're making $100/hr playing online, it makes no sense at all to spend an hour returning something that cost $30.

Re: blatant disregard (disrespect?) for money
I've picked up some similar tendancies.
When I used to work I'd shy away from spending money because I'd always think, well going out tonight is going to cost me about 2 hours of work. So I'd think to myself, two hours I worked today I basically got paid nothing. With poker it's not like that, for me anyway. The bankroll is large enough so that spending $50 on dinner means nothing. It also doesn't quantify anything as far as 'hours worked' goes either. I don't keep track of a "per hour" wage playing poker because it's never the same. I can't say I'm as cavalier as you about shoving chips into the pot, but I am definitely more eager to just shove them in online if I feel like someone is trying to steal than I would be playing live.

Re: blatant disregard (disrespect?) for money
If the answer was yes, one could honestly say that they don't think about winning more money playing poker when buying something expensive. For instance, when I bought my new ipod, even though I had a perfectly working older one, I reasoned to myself that I could easily make this money back playing a good hour of poker.
The answer is clearly no since the cash that we easily earn through internet poker has value in real life.

Re: blatant disregard (disrespect?) for money
My money on the internet doesnt bother me as much. It's like losing play money. But when I go to the casino with money I cashed out from poker I hate losing it. I dont like to play live as high as I four table 6 max on the net. It's totally retared but I cant help it.

Re: blatant disregard (disrespect?) for money
yo V, thro some do' my way, i be po'
(random rap lyric: Big L: "breakin in cribs with a crowbar/i wasn't poor, i was po'/couldn't afford the "O" "R" ") tirame dinero. AHORITA! seriously, i have the same kinda problem. i recently bought a norelco electric razor which doesn't work in the least. blows goats. its $165. i figure maybe i'll keep it for the [censored] of it and still pay $20 for mach3 power razors. similarly, i have an interview at lehman in NY next friday. am i really going to remember to ask waiters and taxi drivers for receipts for reimbersement?? luckily their travel department has a good system where they pay for my flight but if they didn't, id probably end up shelling out the dough and not get it back. my problem is i think when im way older id want some of this wasted money back....with interest.

Re: blatant disregard (disrespect?) for money
If i saw my bankroll like real money, I would be to scared to continue play poker.
When I make a cashout it "transforms to real money" in my mind. It can feel really strange... The cashout is a rather small part of my bankroll which feels like nothing when on Internet.. "Ohh sh*t! That was a lot of real cash i got in my hand!" [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] //Pug
