Although the neurophysiological hormonal fluctuations of the poker player may be more dramatic, or more prevalent then the average professional, is it not worth noting that poker also comes with a great decrease in stressors very prevalent in the traditional acceleration of career x or in academia?

It's almost as if a poker player's neurobiological life cycle may be condensed on one hand, but lengthened on another.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I doubt many people go through life without experiencing a certain amount of stress on a regular basis. Perhaps one in a thousand? A million?
