I was thinking about this recently and just thought it was interesting the thing that I love the most about poker.
In life people have a natural pecking order a lot of people will try to deny this exists either because they really are that naive or because they are in denial or simply because they are outright lying for whatever reason.
Socially some people are considered better then others and if someone appears to be doing better then others perceive they should be either socially or in terms of finances etc people actively try to sabotage them. I have witnessed this in my own life multiple times both as the victim of this and also witnessed other people been the victims of this.
However in poker if someone wants to sabotage me or attempt to ruin me they will pay it for financially thats just a fact. there are players that can beat me sure but these players are or should be playing higher stakes if they drop down to play me sure they can hurt me but they will lose money in oppertunity cost.
poker is one of the few places where politics cant ruin you.
