Do you play poker when you are stressed?

I rarely get stressed out, and when I'm out trying to play poker, listen to classical music and relax

Playing Poker when you are Stressed is absolutely toxic for your Game in my opinion

Not really, i think when you want to play poker, you need to very relax, quiet and concentrate so as you can bring your best to the game and take some chips around

stressed poker...

NEVER... lol. if i'm stressed out i bet based on my feelings in the moment, not paying any attention to the bidding taking place. i easily go on tilt... and even the hands i win become an issue in my following bids. i go looking for instant gratification with cards that aren't worthy of the bids i'm giving them. 5,7 suited begins looking like a sufficient raising hand... just because it beat me 2 hand previously. lmfao. than i get mad when it doesn't hit. subsequently i leave the game more stressed out than when i began.

Do you find that it is a good stress reliever, or do you experience more stress from playing?

I myself try not to play poker when I am stressed because I find that I am more likely to make decisions I will regret in the long run at the poker table under these conditions.

I play stressed too often. When I do well its a relief when I don't it's worse.

I make fun of people for drinking while playing, but stress is not better.

Just say no.

No, I don't play poker when I'm stressed because I make decisions that makes me stressed more.

I certainly do not play poker when I am stressed. More like the opposite to relive stress because its a game of psychology.

I play poker when I'm stressed out. It helps to relieve my stress. Poker has assisted me with getting through a lot of things. Can't say if that's good or bad, but it definitely is a release for me as well as an escape. There are of course times I despise it, but overall poker has helped me through the tough times. Including now!

stressed

i try not to play when streessed but when i do i lose lol

I play poker always hahaha

Poker is a stress reliever for me, it helps me escape from everyday stress (and I am an attorney so there is an abundance of it) and puts me in a world of different stress, but in a good way.

Really bed play poker with stress filing that is my thing

Many Situations in poker game make a player stressed and if u know how to use IT correct and you dont make a wrong decisions so u know the answers..

if I want to play for relaxation in a stressful situation I only play at play money tables .
but overall I avoid playing in these type of situation.

Do you play poker when you are stressed my friend my dates tell me no problem when i play poker everytime i played and very drunk even lol

I try to avoid it. Pure Thinking is a half success

I try not to play whenn i am steressed!!!

Poker is all about wise and correct decisions .
So getting angry or stressed or tilted , will definitely affect your success .
there is a rule i once read it in a book long time ago that say ; "don't bet if you are lying on the bed".
in other words , don't force your self to make wrong betting decisions if your situation isn't helpful .
coz may be you will end burning your money for no reason .

When I am stressed, I tilt easier but because I am addicted in poker I will play in these cases too!

I used to play everytime even if I was in a bad mood , sick or something similar the bad thing is that I lost every time .

I recently was playing in an online tourney while me and my wife were having a "discussion" while surprising the little distraction had my senses heightened and I was super aware allowing me to make top 10?

it all depends on what situations you are experiencing stress. you just need to exclude such situations from your game that will allow you to play good poker

It's like football for me - the match will take place in any weather ! At the moment I am unemployed and therefore I have the strongest motivation for the game !
