I think he meant that if you are going to LOSE $150,000, you could go buy a Lamborghini instead.

Of course, no one sits down at a poker table planning to lose, so it's kind of a silly analogy. And to be fair, you'd have to make the opposite analogy too (for when you win $150k): Do you really want to go hang out with your friends or go to the ball game or take your girlfriend out to dinner (or whatever), when you could play poker instead and have a Lamborghini shipped to your door this time tomorrow?

Good example as to why it's really bad to think about poker money in terms of real life dollars...
