What makes this even funnier is if you’re a rich guy and do this the actual poker players will shower you with praise and stroke your ego (especially when you win hands through sheer variance) and say you’re great and to keep doing what you’re doing because they’re just siphoning money from you and want you to keep it up. Like, that’s the original definition of a “whale” in the gambling sense
It’s not ‘understanding something about risk that no one else does’ it’s 'is able to screw up constantly without facing any actual consequences, unlike every other player at the table.’
