This is aimed at no one in particular just a general thought and my opinion
It takes some balls to bet High with your own money and especially so when you're gambling and not involved in a lock up game
Different Strokes for different folks, I know. I don't impose my Philosophy about this onto anyone else but for me, and I suspect a lot of other pool people, as well, it's a lot of fun and can even be a bit of an adrenaline rush at times
Wagering is a big part of our Sports history and I certainly enjoy the colorful aspect of it, even today
JB is out there having some fun and It appears as though he can afford it.

"Betting high" or showing "heart" is relative, IMO.
For some guys, given a particular skill level, experience, and financials, betting $100 is "betting high" and "showing heart." For other guys, given their particular experience and financials, it's more like a junkie who needs a bigger dose to get their blood pumping. And frankly, for some of these guys, you can forget about skill being part of the equation.
Making bad games does not equal "heart." And,
Betting what you can afford does not equal "heart."
There are plenty of foolish ways to get an adrenaline rush -- chasing the rush dan't automatically justify stupid.
