it is their problem, but I still feel sorry for them. And usually they damage more than just themselves.

But it is more than just gambling and drugs, it is clubs, clothes, cars houses, movies........

People have plenty of ways to waste their money.

I actually know one guy that is a compulsive gambler, horses, sports, poker, whatever. You won't come across many of these people at .50/1.00 games or even 2/4 or 3/6. These guys are action junkies and they want to push big piles of chips around even if it is with a mouse click. The guy lost his house, he and his family are living in an apartment. But he gets horse racing beamed to his house by satelitte and bets online. I guess you are right steve, I don't pity him, I despise him.


I have another friend who's SnG play I was tracking for a while, he had an average profit of $24 per $100+9 SnGs on Party and $10 profit on $200+15s.

But the guy insisted on playing the 200s even though he was just barely above break-even. He had no concept of BR management or maximizing return, he wanted to win the biggest prize - no matter how much it cost.
