It's quite normal/natural although it will be your biggest barrier to beating the game. Talking from experience
You are looking for excitement/thrill. That's good for motivation, but also bad for being profitable. No need to feel bad or guilty.
Imo you should play as high as you have fun and can easily afford to lose. No need to feel guilty, others spend $100 on wine that others drink for $10
. I'd even say they possibly get 10 times the pleasure.
Do it until you get tired of it. At some point beating the game (no matter the stakes) will give you more pleasure. There is a lot of satisfaction in outsmarting your Villains and the all-ins where your edge is 65-35 can still give you the thrill while at the same time winning you money long term and dominating the competition.
And it's more fun to play basketball, boxing (and poker) with people who are your level or slightly better.
Of course, if your question was "i want to become a pro and make money longterm", the answer would be drastically different.
