Hey man. I had to write a synopsis of two psych articles for a psych class and I chose Alan Schoonmaker's Psych of Poker articles. He is very insightful, mostly Freudian in his thoughts too. This should link you directly to some of his articles but if not, it's at cardplayer.com. Enjoy http://cardplayer.com/?sec=wart&writer_id=112

PS. Don't bother looking on a search engine for scholarly journals about the topic. I spent a whole class period looking for something but never found any worth while.

The nuts,
Stl10202

Here's one. Haven't read the paper but the abstract looks interesting:

Hi, In attition to my friend Alan's excellent work (his book Psychology of Poker and his articles), there is a brilliant book called Poker Faces by David Hayano that covers this in great detail. It is out of print so it may take work (or money) to find one, but it is very worthwhile.

Also, David Spanier wrote Inside the Gambling Mind (still available from Amazon), a wonderful work.
