I found this on the net, kinda a funny quote and reply dont you think?
-------
“In high-stakes games, you have to be able to forget the value of money, otherwise you can’t even play,” said Ilari Sahamies, a man who regularly raises a pair of diamond earrings pre-flop, leads the flop with a Mercedes, bets the turn with a Rolls-Royce, and shoves for a four-bedroom house on the river.
Nice comment. Thats the way it is on high stakes. By the way, Zligmund lost over 2$ millions in the begining of the year. So he knows exactly what it means

Yeah makes sense when you are at that level you cant see $$$ just chips. If you really think hard its like playing a 10c tourny you dont think about the 10c just the 1500 chips you start with, if you looked at it as 10c you would be just like the idiots that go all in every hand till they bust out. High stakes / low stakes its all the same game.. just a slightly different after party.
