I don't have much loss aversion. I view all the poker I will ever play as one giant game. One hand, either way, will not make that much impact. I have the same approach to other decisions regarding risk- investing, business decisions, home buying, affairs. I do draw the line when guns are involved. At that point, I become very risk averse. Nice post. I don’t have much loss aversion. I view all the poker I will ever play as one giant game. One hand, either way, will not make that much impact.

George Costanza tried to eat and watch TV while having sex. Why not play poker and have sex? I say for the sake of science we must perform an experiment - more than once. My hypothesis, however, is that it will lower loss aversion, but too much to help with winning at poker. I think that for an aggressive activity like poker you need to have some level of fear and loss aversion. If you don't, you'll be like a boxer who has sex before a fight - happy but not hostile.

Oxytocin is released naturally when women breastfeed - presumably to promote a nice, cuddly feeling with their baby. Also possibly after sex, if I remember my biology. Now there's an idea!
