I really dont get whats so hard to grasp about this.
People just think that poker is pure gambling like roulette. And that woman thought youd be a degen gambling with thousands$ every month and hitting a luck streak that month, so you could afford the 30k cashout.
But on the longrun you lose and you already lost much more than the 30k.
So imo the question isnt really that inappropiate.
