Definitely an interesting idea. I know working in finance AND playing poker have a really warped my view on money compared to my peers. I am much more apt to take risk and also much less affected by financial variance than most average working professionals.
What does dogreg mean? Is it below weak reg? Lol
I work in finance as well and yeah, this is spot on

so i'll be using qualitative research methods so there won't be questionnaires etc. It'll be a reflective account on my own experience of money as well as interviewing other therapists/clients around their experiences too. Hopefully will find some interesting themes that i can elaborate on.

lmao. this is technically true, although not for the reason that i'm simply not taking the bet.
At lunch today i booked a spontaneous bet with bigstealer that i can do 100 keepie-ups from 8am-8pm tomorrow. We booked 1.5k
smb said that if i wanna do his bet i have to book it in before the 100 keepie-ups for obvious reasons. So i've decided to take what feels like a higher ev bet.
Preflop: Hero is BB with Q K
UTG folds, MP raises to $15, 2 folds, SB calls $12.50, Hero raises to $65, MP calls $50, SB calls $50
Flop: ($195) 9 K 5 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $63.36, MP calls $63.36, SB raises to $397.13 and is all-in, Hero raises to $553.25 and is all-in, MP calls $489.89
Turn: ($1,698.63) J (3 players, 2 are all-in) River: ($1,698.63) A (3 players, 2 are all-in)
Spoiler:
Results: $1,698.63 pot ($3 rake)
Final Board: 9 K 5 J A
SB showed 4 T and lost (-$462.13 net)
Hero showed Q K and lost (-$618.25 net)
MP showed J A and won $1,695.63 ($1,077.38 net)
Preflop: Hero is CO with K Q
2 folds, Hero raises to $12.50, BTN calls $12.50, SB folds, BB raises to $45, Hero raises to $112.50, BTN folds, BB calls $67.50
Flop: ($240) A 5 K (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks
I am still shocked sometimes by how risk averse "normal" people are. They even decline a 60/40 "flip" for over 100€.
Also the tilting about small sums like a 20€ parking ticket is weird as *** to me. Anything below 500 is just a litle swing in my head ...guess thats what poker does to you. Really intresting topic for sure
Huge LOL if you aren't able to manage 100 Ben. Don't disappoint

Didn't play any poker today, it was great.
After an atrocious nights sleep, i got up at 7.30am (lolearly) to be down at the pitch for 8am. Was back home by 8.30am having bashed out the 100 keepie-ups. Probably the easiest 1500 i've ever made The 1k woulda been very very difficult cus of fatigue so i'm glad i did this bet instead.
Chilling tonight and 11's tomorrow then i'm sure i'll grind at some point.
So off the back of last month with the disaster 5k shot, i was determined to stick to 500z and begin to mix regular tables. I ran absolutely awful at 500 this month, but in typical run good fashion I went on supreme uptick at 600/1k over a very small sample. Ran unreal in AIEV which makes me feel guilty, but not that guilty Obviously a bit of a shame to be up 25k, but these are the swings i'm growing accustomed to.
