A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I once lost ~15k during a high-stakes poker tournament. Had another buy in and won it all back with a big plus (3rd place).
I rarely play for money, but when I do, I play hard like a sledgehammer to your ankles.
There's a reason why none of my friends want to play poker with me, even if it's just a fun game for like 10 €.
I learned from some of the best. I only run a fun game once a year on New Year's Eve these days. Like, 5 € and you're in for a fun hour or so.
OMG! We might have a winner. Well... for the question. That is a ton of money to lose.
The weird thing, though, is the fact that I keep my usual money and my poker bankroll money very separately.
The gambling money is for just that: Gambling fun. Even in case it'd ever run dry, I'd never touch my normal life bank account with a ten-feet-pole-stick.
Maybe that's the secret behind 'healthy' gambling? Idk...
That's definitely the way to do it.
