In Response To: Attempt at clarification (Timothy Chow)

I am confused about casinos being contrasted vs tournaments. Some tournaments take place in casinos. Are casinos a place one can go to play money games?

Do you mean to just contrast money play including chouettes vs tournament play? I don't see how that answers your original question because someone entering a tournament does not preclude that person having a gambling mind set.

My guess is that the ratio of play taking place in a tournament format is much higher than 30 years ago.
