I haven't seen a formula for the average psychological choices between winning, and having fun winning. There is a difference, and the amount of concentration that you use depends on how much you want to win, and for what reason. In the early days of Snooker there were a bunch of elderly gentlemen knocking in 50 breaks, and then along came Alex Hurricane Higgins who played mainly for fun, and threw caution to the wind to be an entertaining player who called himself 'The People's Player'. After Hurricane Higgins came Jimmy White another entertaining player throwing caution to the wind. Then came Steve Davis who had a reputation for being boring. What Steve Davis did was to play safe a lot more than the other players, and playing safe was the real key to winning at snooker at that time. In other words you don't go for all of the pots which are risky, but fun to get when you get them.
You will find that the common brain doesn't just want to win, it wants to have fun winning. The fun stage is an experimental stage which causes the neural network to improve on difficult situations, so a difficult shot after several attempts becomes easier, but a difficult shot with no attempts is safer.
You can become rich by ignoring fun!
But your neural network will not advance so much.
