Stay calm and cool, and stick to your game. And are you asking this on freerolls or MTTs..
That was the same problem i had, and it took some time to pass, and once you start getting some wins in there it should help.
Edit: There are a lot of topics on here that can help you to, and theres even this https://www.cardschat.com/poker-strategy.php

Less capitals, more punctuation, please. Thank you.

Anyway, I think "not caring" can be helpful. In freerolls anyway. (Since you still seem to play playmoney games, I'm assuming that's what you're referring to.) You didn't pay anything, so you have nothing to lose. No pressure.

(If you're referring to buy-ins, well... quit the playmoney games!!! That is NOT going to help your game. The best way to learn is from experience. Even if it does cost you a little at first...)

i seldom see it but i,ll say it.

if you have a game thats working for you stick to it,you cant let wins,losses,money or anything else influence that..in my humble opion.And i,m not trying to say dont change your game..this is like any other stragedy we must evolve,i,m just saying dont let outside factors enter your game.

Don't think about cashing or not cashing. Think about how you can 1. Stay in the game longer 2. Move up the chip stack ladder.

I usually dont even think about the money in tournament play until well after the first break,maybe even second break.
I will check average chip stack and make sure I try to keep it at least there or better or close.
I just try to focus on my play and know that I am along way from the money still.
Once I make itm my game seems to excell dramaticly,and I always seem to advance considerably.
But generally I just dont even think about the money till its time to.

I have that same problem, and all I can do usually is stick to my game and try to play within myself (as stupid as that sounds). Except, I put pressure on myself when I have made it through the first break of a donkfest FT freeroll (that's right, just freerolls!)
