yes sometimes especially in high stakes and advanced stages of big buy-in tourneys or when i go all in and i am not 100% sure to win and It’s pretty normal, just try to focus more and stop playing the game like a race, play it like a marathon.

A little fear is definitely present, especially when the prizes are so close. I'm also always worried that when I'm all-in, the last card on the river will ruin my mood, and such thoughts don't just come to me.

I don’t play with fear. Fear is for the other players. Play within your means so you are not playing with scared money. The other players, no matter how intimidating they might be can’t hurt you. If you get knocked out then get up and play again. They can’t kill us every time! Good luck!

It's totally normal to get nervous/scared when playing poker, especially in a big cash game pot or in the late stages of a tournament.
However, it is something you should be able to handle as long as you are not playing outside of your means.

Страх??? Нет. Азарт - да!!! Легкая нервозность - да!!! Это неотъемлемая часть игры, адреналин. Когда вам нужно принимать решения, вы контролируете эти эмоции и действуете. Если вы постоянно думаете, что ваши тузы всегда будут побиты на последней карте – так и произойдет, такими мыслями вы притягиваете это событие. Да, бэдбиты случаются, от них никто не застрахован, но не надо на них зацикливаться!!!! Бойтесь - никогда, даже когда я доберусь до лимитов 100 и более, пусть регуляры испугаются, встретив во мне новичка, потому что они не будут знать, на каких скоростях я буду играть. 😜🤣😁 Всем удачи!!

Because I would feel scared, it's just a game.😁

No, I don't see why that is.
The only situation would be if the person is playing with important money, for example, rent money.
If you are doing this, you are far behind a large part of the field due to the trauma in the subconscious, that is, the psychological shock allowing you to make erroneous decisions.

I don't feel fear. but I do get a serious adrenaline rush. Even better when I'm under the influence of wine! If I felt fear. I would consider myself playing beyond my means or control and it would be time to quit.

Recently fear got in my way at a tournament at ACR. I played normally most of the time, I was in the TOP10 most of the time but then things started to get difficult.
I was close to bursting the bubble and I thought, I'm not going to play until the ITM to guarantee the minimum. I gave up good hands like AQs and 99 to maintain this strategy. After guaranteeing the minimum I would go to AIOF to try to recover. But in the end there were 72 paid positions and I came in 74th. I could have recovered with some of the hands I gave up but ended up folding for fear of losing. In the end, I ended up losing anyway...
Conclusion, use fear to your advantage by forcing you to be cautious, but don't allow fear to paralyze you... Both in Poker and in any other area of life.
