Do You Ever Feel guilt When You Win?

Poker its a competition and everyone who participates is trying to win ; if someone plays over his head and looses money he cant afford to loose, thats his problem, not yours.

If I talk to the person online and are friendly and kind of makes friends with then. I try to avoid pots with them to not take all their chips.
When/if I do take all their chips, I do feel kinda bad lol.

this is how poker works there is no place for any emotions

Never.
Poker is a very cruel game at times

Absolutely not. I put in the effort to play better than they do, and they didn't. I didn't make them play, I don't pretend to be worse to deceive them, the rec-fish would play anyway. They got what they wanted: a pleasant diversion, had fun, chalked up their losses to entertainment and I got their chips. In the end, they could have gotten mine by being lucky.

What's there to feel guilty about?

It is their responsibility what they do, right?

In very rare cases I do feel a bit guilty - when I see that a player is a complete noob and loses notable sum of money. He thinks he plays at least average so he plays above micro stakes, but I see he is weak and his place is in the micro, just for learning real money tables. But those cases are quite rare.

nope

Never.poker game for money and there is always someone wins and someone loses

Look, I do not regret it.

When I'm at a table and I see those heavy bads bets, stay sad for the loser.
Only in these situations.

It happens that, and with a weak hand to move your opponent in poker, then good luck and pure mathematics, blame yourself for success can not, on the contrary should be glad.

Never feel guilty winning in poker. Always a sense of satisfaction. Sometimes, when you win, there is a sense of no contentment with his game. But no more.
If there is a sense of guilt towards opponents, then why play? Just transfer them the money.

I never feel guilty for winning. After all, the opera is always someone popezhdaet and someone loses.

Never, I play to win

I wouldnt call it guilt but there is definitely a somewhat sombre feeling when you win money from people you know very well.


It's more of a live feeling than an online thing i suspect which is why this thread is probably overwhelmingly one sided into the no territory.

Yes, I do...
Very often it happened when I was just starting to play.
Now it's happening to me less and less as now most online players play very agressive and incorrectly.

We sit down to play, of course, to have fun and to win, but sometimes it is a pity when you win money from friends, you know very well and who are saddened ...

But this, of course, the game, and we must be prepared to defeat.
But sometimes it is a pity....

No guilt here. No winning either. If there is winners guilt, I want that.

Only loosers can feel guilty when they win. It is a game, the game is to win not to loose.

no...no i dont

I feel a sense of guilt when I lose! I understand, I had to play better!

If I win a badbeat I feel guilty for like 2 seconds and than it's already over

Nope absolutely not

I don't feel anything but that sweet sweet dopamine rush!

Yet I never once felt guilt because it won. To do this, we're gathered at the poker rooms. No one will just give the money to someone else. Lost - means somewhere made a mistake, he is guilty!

Only when I win by chance.

Dont blame the allin players... they are innocent people
