You seem to be strangely offended by the idea of people playing small stakes home games for fun, and frankly, your understanding of a game seems rather skewed to me as well. I'm really glad for you to know and hopefully be able to make a living off of non-professionals that can afford to lose several thousand dollars in one evening of non-serious playing. That's a great clientèle to have as a professional gambler, and I see nothing wrong with taking advantage of it. But I'll go out on a limb and say it's probably far from the lived experience of most people, and neither should it be. Obviously for poker to make sense you need to have a minimum of skin in the game. Which is exactly why you basically telling people here to rather go and play with peas comes across as pretty tone deaf, not to say entitled. You need to understand that you are projecting your standards on people who have no aspirations to play professionally.
