Default Re: Science: What does poker do to your brain? (x post from psychology

One thing for sure is that when I watch a movie or something on my computer I always have to play a game of minesweeper or something at the same time. When I'm on the computer it's really hard for me to slow down.

Or when I watch tv it's hard for me to watch hour long shows because I get bored too easily. I think that all the mental stimulation from playing a lot of tables and money being on the line has made me much more impatient in general.
