In Response To: Yes, I do play for fun. (Jason Lee)

"But you kind of dodged my question... would you play in a chouette if they weren't playing for money? "

If it were the right group of people, sure! But the reality is that it would not be as enjoyable because people will never have an incentive to drop a cube. If you love to play, will you be more motivated by the desire not to make a bad take, or by the desire not to sit out the rest of the game and be bored? That's the advantage of doing match play for zero stakes. There is a future penalty for a current reckless action.
