Whilst reading another poker blog, I found quite an interesting article written by Management Science entitled “ ”Poker Player Behavior after Big Wins and Big Losses“.
This article took playing histories from 25/50 stakes games and found that after a big loss, numerous players tend to loosen up and after a big win, statistically, players tend to play a lot more aggressively.
These findings were consistent with ‘Kahneman and Tversky’s’ Break Even hypotheses and suggests that ‘when investors incur a large loss, it might be time to take a vacation or be monitored closely’
All in all, quite an interesting read and well worth taking the lessons learned from the article to heart. Fairly sure it will improve play to quite a large degree.
