Re: My lack of ability to psychologically condense events
That's very interesting.. As you probably would have guessed, my choices were a for the first and b for the second. I think it can be applied to poker in that, as in example A, many people after winning to start off a session will 'quit when they are ahead', taking the gain they have just attained, rather than risking it. As for example B, this can be likened to the roulette player. If he is $100 down, the pain of going to $200 down is less than the positive he will experience if he gets to break even again. A loss is a loss whether it be $100 or $200, so most people want to have the chance of losing 0.
In reply to the second post in this thread, I wasn't kidding when I said this is a hypothetical situation. I am more concerned about how this concept applys to (my) life in general. I thought people here would appreciate it being 'translated' into language they most certainly understand.

Re: My lack of ability to psychologically condense events
Ohhhhh, excuuuuuuse me, most learned one.
Perhaps this is a bit beneath your exalted thinking, but I'll try, nevertheless... Substitute my reference to/use of Poker, with LIFE. I stand by what I said. You've got choices. You take one road or the other. You do something or sit on your ass. I'll forgo the hundreds of cliches that come to mind and leave you to ponder the great mysteries of life.

Re: My lack of ability to psychologically condense events
Come on, Rolen. That is so lame. I expect much, much more from such an erudite person as yourself. Now, take a few minutes to apply your talents, get those thought processes going and gimme a really good shot. Right here (pointing to chin). Come on, bay-beeee!
