As someone says in another comment thread, Barry has a huge bankroll. He probably just doesn't care. To him, it's a very good business investment that didn't work out. You go home and think, well, I made good decisions, and it didn't work out. For me, losing $1,000 in one session used to make me feel just terrible. Now, I can lose that much, and not be upset at all, as long as I can confirm by analysis that I made the right decisions. I can certainly see how, once you've gotten to Barry's level, losing hundreds of thousands is no problem either.
