    i find myself thinking about poker whenever i spend money throughout the day. if i'm at a bar buying $6 worth of drinks (drinks are cheap as hell in champaign), i often think to myself "oh this is just one big bet at a $3/$6 table", and it's a lot easier spending money that way. i'd like to hear from both 'big timers' and low-stakes players as to whether they equate spending in terms of poker or just think about money as money.

    I do the opposite. When I go and lose 400 bucks at a casino, I'll just figure out what complimentary things I had to eat/drink and place a cost on them. If I lost 400 bucks but had 4 cokes, I'll pretend that I spent 100 dollars a coke. That was it doesn't feel like I lost any money gambling.
