I imagine the added pressure of the extra money cause problems/nerves over incentive. I met and spoke with Gus Hansen and he could easily pick the players concerned about the prize money at his table and finds it easy to exploit them. He said it took a lot of time but he has tried to train himself to play a hand the same way whether it was for 50c or $200,000. I'd love to be there. Interesting study, but not surprising.

Its because in todays modern world, money comes with great pressure, and yet with out money there is pressure still. Whilst money is not everything, it can relieve the tension of a life and those situations without it. It is leverage, it is support and it is a factor that can improve your life in credible ways. You must never forget human value and you must always be aware of your own worth in comparisom to money itself. Both are important, yet one will always be there regardless.

The interesting piece is - having money helps you achieve your needs but most people disassociate money with them. For example, "I just want a a healthy family" - a need/desire that becomes increasingly more achievable the more money you accumulate. Food for thought. Great article - bookmarked it etc. @Fubusama I think these are some deep thoughts. The interesting piece is – having money helps you achieve your needs but most people disassociate money with them.

I remember doing something about this in my business class at school and it was all about the hirachy of needs. Everyone needs a bit of money but after that most people want there other needs fullfilled before they crave more money. Personally, ive come up against it a few times when deciding whether i should work on my web businesses or play poker. I understand in the long run my web businesses are likely to offer a higher reward than playing but playing poker is just so much fun, a $ won is much more satisfying than a $ earned.
