If you wants to win something big in poker you have to overcome your instant imotions ..when you losses last hand the very next hand you will be looking for some kind of recovery of last hand ..so you will play blindly ..so avoid this
I envy those who can play poker without emotions ! Is it possible ?

Every poker player is different and everyone has their own emotional brakes, theory and practice are rarely compatible.

In a game like poker, you can't do without emotions, but you need to work on them! I'm still a newcomer, but I already feel that I have become easier to treat most situations! I think it comes with experience and over time, the more you play, the more often you get into unpleasant situations and begin to experience them more calmly! I want to wish you steel nerves and more composure, and of course good luck!

emotions tend to affect the game a lot. once a bad beat arrives, they try to recover what was lost very soon, and when they fail to achieve it, frustrations arise.
hya to learn to dominate and if it is necessary to leave the table if the losses are too many

I think this is the most difficult to control, especially if it happens in several consecutive hands and against fishes. If we can contain this, in the long term we will be better players, since unreasonable decisions and only playing to recover or to beat a particular villain who has won us some hands, is very detrimental to our game.

Complicated, to play poker you have to have a different mindset, good risk management and not be afraid to take risks.

Hi!
It is impossible to separate emotions from the game,because we come to poker for them-we just need to teach them to control them. Emotions are our pets ,and what they will be (wild and dangerous or obedient and useful-depends on us) .

Help

At the moment that is my problem, but how to overcome it when you get bad hands like a 7 and 2 and at the end as I don't bet then a full house comes out, why does this happen? and at the end I have good hands again and I lose with a bad beat, help.

I feel that the feeling that hurts me the most in poker is tiredness, during a tournament for example, sometimes you were in a very good position and suddenly the blinds start to go up quickly, the players increase their aggression a lot to get into the itm. , and when you take a bad beat in this situation it seems like all the work went down the drain, it's disheartening kkk

You're right!! Indeed, everything happens so often, when you lose a hand, then in the next one you most often push with any hand, in the hope that you will definitely win this hand, but unfortunately you usually lose it, and thus you lose your bankroll (((. Therefore you need to learn to control your emotions in such cases, it is useful for saving money.

it's always good to listen to this advice. but when we lose the poker hand, that uncontrollable rage erupts and the first idea that comes to mind is to go all in right away.

Sometime a bad beat can play with your emotions.

Yes, you must have the right measure in your game. It is a basic rule of the game to understand, when to stop winning and when to stop losing!

I totally agree .... emotions are not compatible with poker if one wishes to be successful ... but remember that we are human beings for this reason we are emotional .... it is not easy to play without feeling anything

Wanna hear worse of the worse.
Playing in a casino for 1$-3$. Get pockets jacks and get into a nice preflop battle before handed a flop giving me middle set. Betting occurs and all ins happen and I lose to top set....set over set, get really steamed head outside for a break and calm down with a cigarette. Talk to an elder who hears me hand and asks me if it’s time to go cause the hand just cost me all my grinding out profit and I was at even buy in. I agreed seeing how as u say, I didn’t want to go in there chasing lost chips...BUT if wasn’t my fault, dealer saw me returning to the table, with a rack in hand,and deals me in as I approach. And lone behold I get pocket jacks again, and again I flop a set again but top set, I’m so steamed I over bet the flop, and the turn and the villain sucks out on the river and makes a straight!!!

Hey, it's just a game. Bad beats are inevitable because that's part of the game. A solid player can overcome the bad beats. If you believe this, and I have forty-five years of experience, so I not only believe it I've proven it countless times, then there is no need for negative emotions. I do however display positive emotions especially after winning a hard-fought game.

I found having 2 kids helped destroy me emotionally and now I have the best poker face, deprived of all emotion. Also why I don’t wear sunglasses live, I want them to stare into my broken, soulless eyes!
