Hi everyone, I had myself a question. Why when you start to lose a certain amount of money at the poker table (zoom) with a good hand like AA and his opponent gives me the call with a hand smaller and take me, then I get angry and start to lose money and noticed I get angry when no gain at all, and so it happened very often to lose my all banckroll. How would need to do to be able to control my nerves and get out of that state ?? Thank you!:)

Its always the best choice to stop playing and do something else.. When you're feeling better sit and play again. If you lose your head, you will lose all the money.. So, if you're nervous, do not play poker.

There is one very tested cure for this: stay off the tables for a while :) It works very well, that is, if you can control yourself to actually take a pause for an hour or a day or a week - depending on how much you have lost.

If no luck, better to quit playing. Otherwise you can lose much money.

such situations often happens with me too. I just turn off the poker and do other things until you calm down. After all, when I'm nervous, but I can make a lot of mistakes and lose money

Take a break from poker. Stand up and take a walk to calm your head and refresh your mind.

Have separate money for your poker bankroll:

Building Your Online Poker Bankroll

Decide how much you can lose each day - you will lose more often than you will win. Know that when you start playing.When you have used your budget for the day simply stop playing and do something else. Look forward to the next day instead of being angry about the current day.

If you discipline yourself the losses won't feel so bad.
Set aside some time each week to study the game and get better so that your losses will be minimized.

Money control is important.

Having this discipline is essential to dealing with the tides of "bad luck".

Very common the player loses the line with a bad and start playing in style all or nothing

Relaxation techniques and self hypnosis I find valid to maintain concentration

This is a hard thing to control. Everyone goes through it and it just takes time to control it. Try to have another hobby so when you are losinf at poker, do something else. When you lose some money, replay the hand and ask if you would have done anything differently. You can also go on youtube and see some vidoes on how to stay calm. When you lose with a good hand and start to think that you can play with bad hands and win, you will just end up losing even more. Concentrate on playing good poker.

To that good subject to debate, the nerves is something uncontrollable and in the poker it affects a lot in the decision making that will lead to the results

you need to figure out in your head, bring thoughts and nerves in order to control themselves and the game. We need concentration

For a successful poker game requires not only skill, but also good luck - even expose a 95% of winning, you will still be 5% of the play. When your opponent catches the right card and you win a big hand, is especially important not to let emotions affect the following decisions
And knock you off balance can not only lose, but even win your distribution
Often emotions lead to errors already indicated: the drawing of too many hands, playing against stronger opponents and too long sessions.

The second you notice your anger creep in on a bad run out from a big hand get away from that table for a bit and reset so you don't tilt spew your roll.

I'm not very smart, but You are mistaken! - To control nerves? What You're talking about people. You're not a soulless creature? The game as a dispute. In any, absolutely any game, it's hard to keep cool. For this You have to be very smart. But really smart people don't play games. So, do not bother. Just count the cards, even the ones that threw opponents. Computer program and connect to the game for their master ( Creator). The style of play rivals. And most importantly rules.

find a way to enjoy yourself i chat and listen to music this helps and play multiple games so the eggs are in multiple baskets not one and I get by.

When you get a bad beat if have to take a short walk away from the table come back at peace and ride the horse again.
