Does anyone get poker anxiety. It seems that every time I play I get super anxious and my heart races. Anyone ever feel this way? Thanks

Playing poker itself not that much.. but yes, before making a decision such as calling an All in pos flop and/or deciding to be the first one to shove.. for sure it's not recommended for folks who's got some heart conditions LoL

It would be difficult for me to play a live tournament. Everyone would see me breathing heavily or the neck vein pulsing when I had a good hand or was bluffing. I'd have to wear a turtle neck, a cap, sunglasses and cover my face when I made a bet, kind of like how Phil Locke dresses.

this is one of the things I like most about poker. we may play several thousand mtt. your heart is always pounding at certain crucial moments in the game. on the other hand with the temp. when you have enough experience. we feel less anxiety than before. because we know that anyway. we use the right strategy and that there is no point in stressing

here, the point is in the experience of keeping your emotional state under control throughout the game.
this is an important aspect of the player not impersonating
although sometimes there are times when my soul goes to heels and my heart begins to beat furiously

Some kind of excitement is definitely present. But it is worth learning to relax, turn on calm music. In the end, download the mobile poker client and lie down on the bed =D True, there is one drawback... Just do not fall asleep and do not miss your moves! =D

I do not have that feeling, the closest thing is when I go there with AA and they match me, also when I am there with 3 or more people my heart speeds up in those circumstances Poker Anxiety

Getting excited or nervous or anxious during big pots is a natural thing. We want to win, we hate the hurt of losing, and it is after all a gambling game. But one thing to make these moments easier to handle: Only play stakes that you are bankrolled for, and accept before a session that you might lose your buy-in.

The heart beats hard only at that moment when it is a very crucial moment) adrenaline rolls over

That makes good sense. I guess a glass of wine or two could settle me down as well. Thanks. Poker Anxiety

I�ve felt much more anxiety playing live than online at home. May be obvious really, but there is far greater pressure having so many eyes on you and judging your every move. Also comment/confrontation is much more uncomfortable live, you can always turn the chat off when online.

Excitement conveys our feelings. I noticed when I am confident in my actions and actions at the poker table, then I am absolutely calm and calm, even when part of the stack is lost. You must always be confident in your decisions and then you will be correctly tuned to the game. Poker Anxiety
