Poker is an excellent teaching vehicle. It really motivates to learn about probabilities, because it makes you win. It teaches you the emotional strength to accept sunk costs, because it reduces your unavoidable losses.

Interesting. It was also suggested on this website that "magic" is also a good vehicle to teach rationality. Do you think there are any other things that can be classified as the same?

Perhaps a list of characteristics that can be used to judge an activity as a good for rationality development?
