It would probably be an interesting poll about how many of us use risk-of-ruin calculations and concerns when we go on a trip or casino visits, vs. how many of us just play with whatever we can afford to lose. I've always believed putting too much thought into something that's fun is the best route to Killjoy.
I'm not a professional, and not many are.

WTF???
Anybody worried about ROR should not play???
Exact OPPOSITE is correct.
Anybody NOT worried about ROR should not play.
Now maybe you play on vacation with a set loss limit so ROR is 0 in
terms of your overall financial situation
Or maybe you play low compared to you bankroll so you play with a safe
ROR without thinking about it, but ANY gambler should be VERY
concerned about ROR.
Making a play with, for example, a 20% ROR is more or less crazy.
even if you have a big edge. Professionals would never do it and
even most others know better. The remaining few are most certainly
going to need to consider GA in their future because that kind of ROR
will get you if you do it very often.

I like that comment. So true. So true.
But, I do like the risk of ruin numbers to let me know how much money I need to bring with me for a particular trip.
Other than that, if I have the money, I make the trip and have fun playing video poker.
