The clarification of its meaning is actually what Ivey said when he was asked about it. So I stand by everything I've said in this thread and if you actually have a reason why any of it is wrong or inaccurate, by all means offer it.

If you can't take $100 from your wallet right now and donate it to Haiti, you shouldn't play poker.

Curious on how the comments in this thread would differ if Hellmuth said it

you have to have a certain disregard towards money if youre a poker player... treat chips like a means to an end.. (which simultaneously is the end itself)
this is correct, Ivey isn't being a smart ass when he says that amount burning money.

I personally interpreted that quote as meaning

If you don't have at least a hundred dollars to spare you should be working rather than playing poker. Poker is a high varience form of income, you shouldn't be playing when you can't afford to loose.

yet another quote from Ivey which puts him further away from all the micro grinders here who cant seem to handle their idol is everything they hate about poker players, a live degen gambler who made his name in a B&M


Its completely true. This quote is in context where Ivey says 'I can be making a $400K bluff and just not care' which is true. You totally need to detatch yourself from money where losing 1K, 5K, 50K, 500K in a pot is just losing points not money. This way there is no tilt and playing becomes much easier

He is saying to be a pro poker player you need to completely detatch yourself from money and treat it as nothing, to a point where you can pull $100 out of your wallet and burn it not caring
