I looked up asymmetric risk preference, and all I got out of it is that losing $50 might distress someone more than winning $50 makes him happy. But as poker players, we shouldn't use this in our decisions, should we? EV is EV as long as we have the bankroll to back it up.

Yeah, asymmetric risk preference refers to the fact that people are more likely to take an unfavorable gamble when they start from a down position then they are to take a favorable gamble when they start from an up position.

It's a mistake that you want to profit from, not a mistake you want to make.
