are you delusional? if you lose in a tournament you're out(maybe if your staked) the entry fee. Gambling you might(again, are you staked?) well be betting everything you have at the time. Both have their own form of pressure but don't even try to say that gambling is easier.
Well I wont insult you or lack of comprehension, but you must not have spent much time around the Pool world. I was at the One Pocket tournament at Buffalo's and there was no way to get off cheap, so your belief that theres only a entry fee is mis-guided. There was $320,000
in the Calcutta and I spoke with a number of players that brought part of themselves, not cheap. It also cost to get to these tournaments and if your not sponsored or staked the travel is costly and if you want to keep your sponsors or backers you better being winning or placing.
Gambling depends, if I've got $800 in my pocket and I'm betting $30 a game Nine Ball, $100 a game One Pocket theres a long why to go before I feel pressure. Now that can change depending on the bet, but no matter what if I've got more Money then you, if I aint betting the rent Money then I'll be right in front of you until I decide to quit, not two and out.
