Who are the people playing on 200/400 limit ALL THE TIME on poker stars?????

[blue11]

Just curious. Are they rich or something? I see the same people playing all the time with buy-ins of $8000. and it seems if they are on a losing streak they just reload their chips like it's no big loss to them. The same goes for 25/50 no limit holdem. Thats gay. Here they are playing on 400 dollar bets like it's nothing and here I am working my ass off everyday and barely take home $400 a week. Seriously....... The world we live in

Let me be the first to welcome you to cardschat. Hello. When you go to a casino to you sit at 1/2 or 100/200?

First of all, don't use "gay" as a derogatory term on these forums.
Second of all, instead of whining about how other people are richer than you, take some steps to make your own life better.

People also order $1000 caviar and drink $5000 bottles of wine. If they have the money, that's their business. Life is not fair.

And they live in multi-million dollar houses....

Offhand, my best guess is they don't especially want you to know who they are; if they dud, the option to use their real names and faces IS AVAILABLE AT ps.

Also, see Brandon Adams novel "Broke", for a glimpse into the lifestyle/personality of the players at these stakes (it's not really that good of a book, but does address this situation).

Your envy should not allow you to judge other folks' lifestyles. It is not "gay". There are some very wealthy players on pstars. They can afford to do it. Thus they do it.

there is a story about a teacher giving all his students different utensils along with a canvas and are instructed to paint a specific picture. the students who only got a pencil lament, while the ones who were given different paint sets and other tools are elated. the teacher goes on to make the point that the exercise is to show that you are supposed to do the best you can with what you have, regardless of what people around you have.

i think that applies to the OP
