🃏 Do You Play Differently After a Big Win?

Many players start treating a fresh win as “house money” and loosen up, a bias behavioral economists call the house money effect. Say you win $300 at $1/$2, where a buy-in is $200, and then jump to $2/$5, where a buy-in is $500: that “big win” covers only 0.6 of a single buy-in at the new stakes.

The same pattern shows up in smaller ways, like calling a bit wider, bluffing more, or ignoring the bankroll rules that worked an hour earlier. Staying consistent after a win is often harder than staying calm after a loss.
