I have suspected that what bothers me the most in the game is the anxiety of doubling up or catching a donkey or a fish on the table, and it's funny that when I find these pieces even though I have a much higher amount of chips I end up getting a bad beat.

And you, what bothers you about yourself at the poker tables?

So stop chasing players, maybe that's your mistake, not the deck.

Anxiety is my name, I have to calm down more in poker, sometimes that's why I lose.

This anxiety will eventually lead you to bankruptcy in poker. I know sometimes it irritates you to see that player who pays everything, and you go crazy to get him but in the end he ends up getting you. It's happened to me, but over time I learned that it's no use trying to fight them head on. In the levels I play, 2nl and especially in freerolls, you will find a lot of fish, and for fishing the best strategy is patience, wait for that strong hand and then you will get a fish. Good luck at the tables.:)

I already had this type of anxiety too, but in my case I always wanted to double up fast so I just would go all in or fold in many hands. I'm learning to control this feeling and understanding that I don't need to risk all my chips all the time to build a good chip stack.

The only thing that really worries me is to leave the tournament quickly with a good hand. In all other cases, even if at first it will be unpleasant for me or i will be angry, in the end i will still understand that i did something wrong.

What bothers me the most is a pair of Aces, and people who don't know how to play, with a pair of nothings going to Allinn, late registration of an hour or more

Never underestimate an opponent in a game. Even if you watch his bad play. You do not know what card he has at the moment or what will fall on the table. And it turns out that you didn’t catch him, but he caught you.

Perhaps you are too fixated on catching a donkey or a fish and this prevents you from playing optimally !!! I definitely pay attention to players who do non-standard and even insane actions, but do not forget that they also get AA sometimes !!! No one canceled a flush, straight or set for these players, you need to play carefully and make an increased bet (more than against ordinary players) only if you are sure that you are ahead)))

I also have anxiety when I play poker, but it's not a big anxiety! There is a little excitement when I show with someone all-in! But I think that absolutely all poker players have this feeling! But I try to take it easy on poker, because it's a game, not the main source of income, for me poker is a hobby and I enjoy playing the game! Good luck at the tables!

This state is due to the fact that poker is a game for real money, and no normal person wants to lose this money.In addition,fear is an integral part of the anxiety that is associated with the behavior of opponents,winning and losing.Poker is different from games where any questions can be decided with certainty.Regardless of your skill level,there will always be a factor of some anxiety during your game.

algorithms that exisst in online poker that give players with usually the smaller bank cards like AA. Its a setup to eliminate players. The person with AA, for example, does something like betting a large portion of his bank or goes all-in. The larger bank villain, having already won hands with trash cards bets and wins, usually eliminating the AA player. The pllayer playing trash is also part of another algorithm that chooses specific players to win the majority of their hands. PEA - player elimination algorithm. PSA - player selected algoritm. Only with online poker.

Cheers!

What worries me is that when I lose 100-300bb, they start playing at a higher limit to compensate

Hi.
My only concern is that I don't have enough time to play. For me, poker is a favorite hobby that gives me pleasure. But unfortunately there is not enough free time for my hobby.

Anxiety is hard to deal with, which is why poker player needs to take a break every now and then.
