the kind of degen who degens at 1/2 is the kind for which the money is still somewhat meaningful to their life, they will play poorly not because of indifference but because they are degens who "want to see a flop" or "want to show off their skill by raising blind"
the kind of degens at the high stakes games are going to raise blind not because it's a validation of their skill, they are accomplished people with wealth, they don't feel the need to impress anyone with stuff like that, they instead raise blind because it entertains them
fish are way bigger fish the higher stakes go you - what makes higher stakes more difficult is the higher quality and higher percentage of pros
what killed macau wasn't that the nature of the game changed, it was that at a 10 handed table you got 6-9 pros sitting down and it made the games so bad not even the fish wanted to play in them
it's fun to sit down and do goofy stuff at a table with 9 strangers in what's clearly a free for all
it's miserable to sit down where it's extremely clear everyone there is purely focused on acquiring your money and they are not interested in playing each other

*wasn't that the fish got better
