Playing at the limits that you do, I doubt you are taking to many of the compulsive gamblers money. You may get the last of what they had, but if they are that compulsive, they are normally playing higher stakes trying to get that big hit.

As was mentioned earlier in the thread most businesses take advantage of their customers. Do you think the drunk at the bar can afford to keep blowing money on his alcohol? A large portion of eating establishments serve alcohol on their premises. You think the servers and cooks and executives feel bad cause they may be preying on someone's weakness or "sickness"? You think Puff Daddy, Jay-Z or Micheal Jordan feel bad about taking money from urban America for clothes and shoes that most would be wiser to save or spend on a neccassity rather than a comfort item? Poker is a business too.

People blow money on things they don't need but want. It happens. The concern I have about taking people's money is their children. However, If they are gonna blow money needed for them on poker then they are gonna blow it somewhere else.
