Nah, you don't play with stakes that could matter to someone. In my case, our buy-ins in the home game are $28 when converted to dollars and nobody bats an eye at dropping $100
The tiny reward does make it more interesting because you actually care about winning. It's better to do $20 stakes and keep the money than play for $100 stakes and have to give it back because someone was irresponsible with their money
Doesn't gambling for a living by definition mean you have to play with stakes that matter?
Honestly if people could only gamble with their own money, I might feel different about it.
They matter in so far as it feels bad to lose. But they shouldn't matter to your family's finances
