And one else suffer from symptoms of adrenaline such as shaking? I find big pots make me shake for 10 minutes after the hand. Anyone else have any symptoms they suffer from poker?
I've always had these feelings if I'm playing big limits or get involved in a big pot.
It's especially true in tournament poker where the stakes get bigger and bigger.
Know that this is totally normal. And if you want to have less of these 'symptoms' as you say then just play smaller games and it won't be an issue. (But you also might not derive as much excitement from it as a result).
The hardest part for me is the crash that comes after the adrenaline dump. In some cases in lasts for a day or so, but I've had some after big tournament runs that lasted for literally a week.
Crazy the effects that high stakes poker can have on our bodies and minds.
