Do you play poker when you are stressed?

[AdonisPimenta]

Never ... I’m totally disaster playing like that. I make incredible horrible moves when I’m stressed.

 

[Lina1020]

I never play stressful, when I’m stressed I make bad decisions

 

[Pepask]

Hey folks,

sometimes when I am stressed, i play some micro tournaments until I win some pots which makes me feel better. Later on when the stress is gone, i succeed at usual buy-in tournaments.

Nice to read what you do.

 

[MilkLegs]

I spew money for the most part when I play while i'm stressed or in a bad mood.

When stress, you want to play as soon as possible.

Do you find that it is a good stress reliever, or do you experience more stress from playing?

I myself try not to play poker when I am stressed because I find that I am more likely to make decisions I will regret in the long run at the poker table under these conditions.

no, stress orso doesnt influence my play.
I also dont get stressed when i have a bad streak with bad beats.
Sometimes just a moment a little angry, but no stress...

Playing poker makes me think of nothing, listen to music, or watch sports at the background..

:five:

YES! I for sure play poker when Im stressed out.. Like when am I not stressed out? Im always stressing out over some crap or another.. I know I really shouldn't because I know for sure it affects the way I play. Thats one of the reasons Im not a winning player..and trust me there are many more..:argh::ciao:

If you're easily stressed poker is not for you Stress is a major tell at a poker table. If you are easily stressed but enjoy playing then online games are the way to go. That way you can adjust your anxiety levels accordingly without anyone being the wiser

I've made this huge mistake few times already.. and do not recommend. I mean, if you are stressed, probably there's a good reason for this you know.. and that being said, whatever happens on the poker table that does not go as planned will tilt you as easy as fallen asleep. So try to avoid this bad situations by not playing when feeling real stressed

 

[Shrops]

No

No, I don't play poker when I feel stressed out.

 

[RENEY444]

and it seldom works out well . I then get sleepy , uninterested and /or sloppy .

Stressed

The last time I get stress is from a game of poker. Apparently this is due to the hard moves of my top hands after the flop. Over the past month I have not won a single MTT tournament, I guess you just need to get enough sleep. I am very tired of the endless game.

 

[Gelidmind]

I play poker anytime I feel the desire to. Sometimes when I'm stressed it is a good stress reliever for me. I get lost in the game and all my stress and worries just go away.

I find it to be like work

 

[jorgetorres0]

If I have, and it is not a good idea, it is necessary to be 100% concentrated at all times and with the necessary tranquility to assume the commitment

 

[Pepitcho23]

No im dont play when im stressed or i play bad...

 

[birdman_ski]

For me it's impossible

If i'm stressed i can't play. I can't play easy

 

[dbchristy]

I only get stressed, if I play. LOL

 

[besplatnee]

I try to be in the game only on a positive note, stress is not the best time to play, I wait on the sidelines.

 

[uri73796]

No,I don't play, because stress makes it difficult to fully evaluate the game.

 

[joebenigno]

one in the same for me as certain spots in poker can be really stressful (facing a river jam with top pair, getting check raised with an overpair)

 

[eagleaces]

OOOOH yes

Poker is my game to take away the BS of the world. Its where i feel most in control and yet i love the gamble. I dont lose much so i can justify my love for the game which is just that the love of the game
So yeah with a little added self medication of fine wiskey and maybe a little sticky icky with a few deep runs and the world can go eff itself for now lol

 

[ataraxyan]

I don't think it's a good idea to play poker when you get stressed. Because you'll make many mistakes because of the stress.
