Emotions are related to your experiences about each hand that you play. The more you play, the less worry you will have because of a separate hand. Professional poker players complain that they have already stopped experiencing any emotions at all during the game. They can not be surprised or excited ...

Play more - and it will pass.

Read poems for yourself. Or a few deep breaths.

The stronger, darker emotions. Anger, hatred, fear… these passions empower us." The cornerstone of a Sith's power was emotion.:cool:

As with most things it takes practise. Deep breathing can help.

Poker is a game of strong emotions in which many times manage to control our reason.
Feeling annoyance, anxiety, discomfort or discomfort in the face of an opponent's movement or a well-played bad beat are commonplace in a poker game.
The nerves are usually present during a game in almost all poker players and that player who claims not to feel fear or nerves at the poker table, in principle lies. In any case, the issue is not "not feeling" fear, but knowing how to control it. Or better yet, dissimulate.
This feeling is easily dissimulated in the tables of online poker from the comfort of our home, but very complicated in the tables of live poker. In fact, many professional players as amateurs will be able to agree that the most powerful emotions can overwhelm any bettor in a tense situation at the poker table.
The reasons for not being able to control our emotions at a poker table (whether live or even in an online tournament) can be found in a number of reasons, from the number of cards wagered to the fear of losing honor or damaging one's own Pride against an aggressive bet of the rival.
These feelings, like any primary reaction of man, are involuntary. It can not be avoided but dissimurlase and make them less intense with practice and experience.
That is why, at poker tables, only one who knows how to conceal his fears better or control his emotions better is more courageous.

The idea is to stay rational and collected while staying completely in touch with your emotions at the same time. Once you grasp a greater understanding of the true situation, your emotional response will follow. Removing any naturally occurring emotion is probably not a good idea. If nothing else, without it, we cannot get inside the heads of our opponents

The more you play poker, the less you will experience emotions at the table. For the first time you can wear black glasses.

Good emotions are caused when aggressive players are doing as always big raise to nowhere and the flop is all cards are different and among them, A , at your hand with A good kicker. And usually all the Bank.

If you lose enough cash at the tables because you cannot control your emotions. You will learn to quickly. lol No ,no, just kidding. Try practicing often in front of a mirror and notice what emotions you see.

The more you play the more your emotions become easier to control. Also check out the two books written by Jared Tendler.

As mentioned in a previous post, when I find myself getting angry or tilting I will put my headphones on and take some time to refocus

If you are very excited you will not be making good decisions ... get up a few minutes until you calm down again

Emotions is good. It's the same game. Game without emotion is meaningless

If you do not know how to suppress emotions during the game, then you will find it hard to think logically. Take a short break to reset the negative. Also suggest you find soothing music, which is an auxiliary tool for the game and helps to control emotions.
