Why would I be afraid? 🤔it's just a game, where your decision-making will take you further or not.🙂

Im a bit of a nit so i often feel that my hand is beat and probably overfold a bit in spot i should not......like every fear on life you need to work on them to make it better.

I'm afraid the aggressive player will come out of the screen with a big axe to avenge me taking his chips. :giggle:

I used to be afraid of negative variance, now I understand that it's part of the game and I'm getting used to it happening to me at any time.

What's the biggest fear in poker? What are you afraid of at the table?
I have nothing to fear :)
Sometimes there are moments when the opponent is bluffing, and I'm not sure if that's really the case. Such moments do not bring me fear, but there is a certain unpleasant feeling when I do not understand what decision to make.

Probably most of all I'm afraid that my best hand will be beaten by a hand of lesser strength, to be honest, sometimes it really hinders.

That's a very good question! My main fear is when I go all-in with "KK" and my opponent has "AA". That's pre-flop. It's also scary when you have >90% advantage on the turn and on the river your opponent has a straight or top pair (or second pair). But I'm not afraid of anything! Let my opponents be afraid of my fox on my avatar! :eek::sneaky:

Bad beats, because they're generally something you have little to no control over. Then again, everyone has to deal with them, so it helps to know I'm not the only one getting taken out by a miracle.

I fear nothing while playing online poker. However I am uncomfortable playing live poker against drunk/high players. A pit boss at our local quiet little casino was beaten to death by a drunken/high player while he was enforcing the table rules.

My fear is that one day I'll win a big poker tournament and after that I won't have any goals!:p

fears do a lot of harm, don't play in tournaments where you're afraid to fly out

I don't think poker has anything to do with fear. In poker there are many sensations such as adrenaline, hope, love, satisfaction, joy. But you'll never be afraid. Poker is passion.

I think fear is the wrong word to describe my emotions when I play poker!!! Most often these emotions can be described as disappointment or anger, rather than fear!!! I couldn’t even simulate a situation in which I would be scared while playing poker :confused:
