I play a lot of Texas holdem limit poker in a local poker room and really got to watch myself, and use this principle to my advantage. I notice players after a win are more likely to play the next hands with cards not qualified to play. I do it too. too some degree. I once ha A-6, and three 6's came on the flop. I few hands later I had a pair of 6's and nothing came on the flop, but bigger cards. I called a $3 bet to see one more card, even though it was a bad draw, and got the 3rd six and eventually won the hand. I had to laugh at myself when I showed my hand, but they all knew I kind of like "Owed the sixes". Definite Random Reinforcement.
I read that the worst thing that can happen to someone going to a horse track, casino or any gambling place for the first time, is to win. Yep
