yeah winter time my hands gets old becaus I have bad micro circulation...
But another big reason is sometimes you get tense/nervous, and that makes it bit more pronouced.
So i guess just stay relax and play the game? :D

I used to have this problem until I moved my keyboard to the edge of my desk. This makes it so that I can't rest my weight on my wrist, and it stops any blood flow problems. Listen to Day[9]'s podcast on mechanics, it may help you solve some posture or hand position issues.

I used to get cold hands before during "important" games like CWs and NWs but never beside that except if the room was way to cold. So I think its possible to get cold just because you are nervous.

This.
Don't get your hand way too high compared to your elbow. Otherwise your blood will have a harder time to circulate through your hand, resulting deshydrated hands.
Get a chair where you can rest your elbow on and don't get your keyboard way too high. Eventually cut those little "legs" below the keyboard.

What kind of self respecting male complains about their hands being cold?

Unless you're outside in the winter, there's honestly no excuse.

Also, you probably have swine flu, so I'd get that checked out.

IMO it's harder to play with cold feet.

I just do some exercise like burpees.... warm up your body and the flowing blood should warm up your hands

or you can go run your hands under warm water

Most of the time when mine are warm they stay warm..the room could be cold or youre just taking a break, sit ont hem for 3-4 mins or something

Make sure to give yourself a stranger after sitting on your hands for 3-4 minutes. Should increase the blood flow...

Carpal tunnel or similar repetitive stress injuries cause a weird "numb" feeling that can feel like cold. You might want to get checked out for that so you can deal with it before it gets any worse.

I'm a pianist, and yet I find myself with surprisingly little to say. I'm not completely out of tricks tough.

1. Are you nervous? If you feel tense, your hands will probably get cold.
2. Obviously, how cold is the air around the keyboard? Are there any air drafts? Maybe there's an air vent nearby? Dressing a bit warmer helps if the room is cold.
3. Try running your hands under warm water for a minute or so.
4. If you tried running warm water on your hands and your hands get cold very fast even though the room's not too cold, then your circulation might be a little bit weak. I know of a few solutions within the range of alternative medicine, but I think I'd be getting off-topic to discuss it here.

Well, I think that's all I have to say...I'll edit if something comes up.
