Do you enjoy playing poker or do you have angry thoughts while playing?

[chicbulls2]

Angry, angry, especially after a lot of bad beats with nothing on the river

 

[Gallarado777]

I used to be angry when I was new to poker After a couple of years of playing poker, I stopped feeling angry at all and started taking bad beats as part of the game and don't pay attention to that at all. But sometimes of course there are times when I tell you why I lost. Well, I rarely win, so I think you'll get away with these feelings over time

 

[odonob]

Can be very frustrating at times. Bad beats and poor hand’s beating you.

 

[pep12343]

My anger is few and it doesn't last long. When I lose, I analyze the situation and repeat that no matter how good a player you are, there are hands that disqualify you from a tournament and they are inevitable.
Just yesterday I lost in the pokerstars KO with J-2, I got color and my opponent got color to Q. I had 3 swords on the table and 2 swords each in my hand.
I decided not to get upset, to understand that the game continues

A person is not a robot. During the game, both joy and anger are quite natural.

 

[Silversurfer99]

Yes, if it hits too hard, i get very angry..but i shifted my perspective from getting angry at the opponent to getting angry at the software....never played live in a casino though..

 

[NightStalker]

I enjoy it a lot. It's my passion.

 

[dzsire]

Freerolling for 1-2 hours in the evening has become a habit for me.
There's no point in sitting down to play without enjoyment, and I tend to get angry because of bad played hands and unlucky hands.
If you immediately sit down to play with anger, the matter will take its revenge anyway and you will soon be out, so it is not advisable to sit down and play this way.

Does anger make your game stronger? Do emotions help you make the right decisions? if it brings you pleasure, it’s your choice, but does it bring you money?

You have to change the way you see the game.

In poker, whoever has the best hand doesn't always win, whoever is a better player doesn't always win, whoever made the best play doesn't always win, there is no deserving.

We have to understand the nature of the game. And in the end, it's a good thing that's the case, because if only the best players always won, no amateur would want to play.

So, this possibility of anyone winning, this randomness of poker is really cool, as any amateur can beat a professional by playing just one tournament. We don't have to get angry when we lose with the best hand, we have to accept that it's part of the game.

When you do things well following a strategy there is no reason to get angry, since you see the results in the long term.

 

[Andrii Lubentsov]

Of course I like to play, especially to win.

 

[BOXING71]

As far as I understand from personal experience, everything is done so that our emotions constantly change from joy to sadness or even anger. Respect for those who have already been able to take control of their emotions, but for us newbies, I think this is the biggest problem in the game.

 

[mrfastflow]

I'm super angry When i too calm i lose concentration

 

[Ogma]

Enjoying it less and less tbh.

I went through the period 2010 to Oct 2023 playing very little or zero poker. I can see that happening again.

Losing your Temper while playing Poker is the Worse thing you can do! It always ends one way and that is you putting yourself on "Tilt" and can lead to you throwing good money away trying to outdo your opponents, That is the reason you should always stick to a good bankroll Strategy, Never play with Scared money, Money you are frightened of losing, and except that in Poker just like real life, bad things can happen!
If you get busted out of a poker game and can say to yourself "That's Life! That's Poker! You are ready to try again and register for the next game. If however you throw a fit and start Cursing and smashing your Screen or Computer, It might be a while before you play again.

 

[Rachidao]

I have fun playing, when I start to get tilted I just stop and play another day.

In during play in Poker I have the different thoughts and emotions, as and Everyone, I think... The all depends on situation:
if I win, I feeling, of course, the positive emotions and thoughts, if I lose, that I feeling reverse... I think, in this sense, the all people are similar!
Main, by my opinion, try to control own emotions and thoughts, as positives, so and negatives... This means to find in this question "Golden Middle"!
And this is most of difficult Skill in Poker by my personal opinion again... Therefore, I think, the who one does it better, than others, wins more often!
Conclusion an one: in Poker necessary, by possibility, play like a machine!

If it doesn't cost a lot of money for you then there's no point in getting nervous.

 

[ChubbySin]

I get angry 70% of the time I play

Part of the game!

 

[fullclock]

I love playing poker, but sometimes, when things don't work out the way you want, you get angry and lose focus. It's very difficult to focus on 6- or 7-hour sessions.

 

[pavel1111111]

When I started to play poker I was very angry too most of the time , but now I just play to relex myself and just play a game ...poker it is still a game and dont try to change and chase wins because it will let you down ...just play relax and if going to bring you some financial reward very good ...

 

[ztibor72]

Since I've been playing for fun for a while now, I only sit down to play when I can enjoy the game.

Playing with anger makes no sense. You can't bring your A game, so you lose money anyway.

 

[dreamer13]

People started playing poker because of the excitement, adrenaline and interest of the game itself. The desire to defeat an opponent in those days was much stronger than the desire to win a lot of money. Over time, everything changed. Thanks to the major victories of the pros in major tournaments, poker began to attract all players who accept this game as an easy way to make money.

I think that almost everyone who plays poker likes this game, but unfortunately, there is no way to do without bad thoughts during the game, everyone has them.
