Message: [QUOTE="Pokerstudy, post: 6030465, member: 433356"] I 100% agree, I took the path as a news photog instead, but in reality, everyday was an adventure vs trade off for money gain...not so much from a gambling perspective, but just uncertainty. Same reason I drove 5k rides for Uber..which really was not much different than being a news photog in terms of the crazy shit etc...Poker brings out that same kind of emotion I suppose! The fun and adventure! Those guys had a natural instinct to just have a good time and live on the edge a bit, but not stupid enough to 'only' gamble. Only idiots like Stu Ungar (although an amazing poker player) went down that path back in the day with sports betting. I will never gamble, have zero interest in it. Poker to me is not gambling, it is knowing what you are getting into and moving on if you lose. 80% skill 20% luck. [/QUOTE]
