Lower the buy-in and I *might* consider it, but I doubt it. I'm not a gambler. I go to Vegas and while everyone else is planning on taking down $1k with them to the floor, I take down $10. It'll last me an hour and I'm happy; I can say I've gambled in Vegas. *shrugs* Then I'll go see the sights and enjoy myself, and come home without any regrets.
I've been playing online mainly for the comraderie and just for the fun of it.
Ryan I know what you mean... especially on the NL tables there are a few who play crazy just because it's play money. I watched a pot get up to $29k on the BLIND the other day. People wouldn't do that shit with real money.
I somehow get the feeling there are a lot less "river rats" offline in real games than there are online.
And remember, being "well to do" doesn't mean you automatically throw your money away... if you *still* want to be "well to do" in a few years, then you're sensible with the money.
