[nachunja 0]

i've been desensitized.i've cashed all my bankroll and havent played poker in a while.i go to my university book store and see an ipod nanoand i just bought it.like it was candy.i wasnt thinking in terms of BB or poker at all but.i saw the 250 dollar product and contemplated for 3 seconds and bought it.i felt awed when i got home becausebefore poker, i would not even DREAM of making such a decision in 3 seconds. more like 3 weeks in buying electronics like this.i've become desensitizedthis cannot be healthyi was hoping this would be only at the tables.. not in life.

This is one point of my game that I know must improve: I have to stop thinking in terms of money. Maybe it's because I have never had a bunch of money at once, but I always wonder about what I could have with that money. If I lose a lot, I'm like "....that was an iPod I just lost" for example.So, yeah...I hope the day will come when I become completely insensitized to money. I really do.

I am totally desensitized to money, it's horrible. I spent over $1500 last night on courtside tickets to a Celtics game for my girlfriend and I without giving it a thought.

you should resensitize yourselfnot thinking about the money is good for playing poker, but bad for shopping

Yeah, I think the same type of thing is happening to me, I am more comfortable making big purchases, but I think this is just because I have more expendable income.

Its happened to me on a smaller scale, and in a positive fashion. I use to be a cheap bastard to put it honestly. But now meals that are under 20 dollars and random items under 100 dollars seem cheap to me and I don't mind spending the money, not that I do it often. But I think it is more do to sports betting than poker. Betting 1k+ or so a week really makes smaller sums of me seem less significant.I did blow throught some cash this weekend however on celtics tickets, alcohol, and a shitload of sushi.
