I came across this video showing a High Stakes Poker Hand in which the pot was over $500,000 and I was amazed at the reaction of Daniel Negreanu and Gus Hansen at the end of the hand. The commentators explained that winning or losing hundreds of thousands of dollars wasn't a big deal to them because they don't value money in playing poker the way they would in the real world. It reminded me of the housing market and how willing people were/are to take on massive mortgages between $500,000 to $1 Million because they could/can afford the payments in a low interest rate environment. When did the apathy regarding risk become so commonplace in society?
