Posted by dule-vu: you are wrong,they spend 1 million on some party at one night and you cant tell me that they will be sad if they lose 500 K on some poker game!come on,be serious!

but that kind of people dont care about money,no matter did they earn money or they have it from before,from parents or something else!like some sheikh or chinese businessman care about one million on poker!for them its just fun!if they dont have it,they would come on table and play such a high stakes poker!

yes,ofcourse I didnt mean that partick is so much rich at this time,but ofcourse I talk about other players who dont care about this money and who can play and if they win ok,if they dont no problem!but at some point poker players come at this position when they have buy in for 200 K for example,like bonomo can and if he lose on one tournament,this wont be problem for him!
