Poker is a game of strong emotions in which many times manage to control our reason.
Feeling annoyance, anxiety, discomfort or discomfort in the face of an opponent's movement or a well-played bad beat are commonplace in a
poker game.
The nerves are usually present during a game in almost all poker players and that player who claims not to feel fear or nerves at the poker table, in principle lies. In any case, the issue is not "not feeling" fear, but knowing how to control it. Or better yet, dissimulate.
This feeling is easily dissimulated in the tables of
online poker from the comfort of our home, but very complicated in the tables of live poker. In fact, many professional players as amateurs will be able to agree that the most powerful emotions can overwhelm any bettor in a tense situation at the poker table.
The reasons for not being able to control our emotions at a poker table (whether live or even in an online tournament) can be found in a number of reasons, from the number of cards wagered to the fear of losing honor or damaging one's own Pride against an aggressive bet of the rival.
These feelings, like any primary reaction of man, are involuntary. It can not be avoided but dissimurlase and make them less intense with practice and experience.
That is why, at poker tables, only one who knows how to conceal his fears better or control his emotions better is more courageous.
