Carrying large amounts of cash/chips is both awkward and dangerous....

Most of the bigger players also have credit lines but also have stashes whne the have to pay out on bets, such as golf bets, prop bets and private wagers.

Personal gambling is pretty rife amongst the bigger poker players, as good a they are, most have a degenerate streak.

The irony is that in big game poker, not caring about the money is actually an advantage.

One of Doyle Brunson's quotes is "To be a successful gambler you have to have a complete disregard for money."

Thats not entirely correct but what he is saying is you play optimally rather than playing scared which is suboptimally.
