How Do Non-Rational Players Succeed in Poker?

[hurrafordeg]

Could you please put up references for the psychological journals etc you have read? I didnt get to finish the entire post (have to get back to school now), but as a former psychology student, I am very keen on seeing some solid, empirical evidence for the theories you use to back up this post. The subconcious is a very controversial subject in psychology, and what you refer to as subconcious competence sounds more like autmated responses, which work in almost the same manner, but calling it competence is for me a far strech.
