I noticed this when I worked on a trading floor. Even though the amounts of money being discussed were very large (a good trader could send millions across the table in one transaction) the game always seemed sterile to me, but to the traders, it was exciting.
I also never "got" the poker bug. Even though I was reasonably good at the game, it never seemed to be that interesting to me.
