What I wanted to say is that playing poker is always exciting for everyone and even more so when you don't have the pressure to win, like a millionaire who is just having fun and doesn't mind losing millions of money.

That's right, it's not just poker, they also play other types of games, there we don't know how much they win or how much they lose, but what we do know is that a lot of money moves, that's why high-level poker is more exciting. .
