Friends, do you often feel scared while playing poker?
No not really.
The thing is that if you play poker and play with fear you will never get positive results.
That is why fear must be avoided.
By playing conscientiously, positive results will sooner or later arrive.

There is no fear in poker as it is a very healthy and fun sport. Poker is all about enjoying yourself and learning to do your best in every tournament.

I feel no fear when playing poker. I play for fun, so no matter how the game turns out, no matter what the result is, I never worry, and even more so I'm not afraid :)
I have been playing for more than 12 years, I play quite confidently and I rarely have doubts about the decisions I make.

it's normal to be afraid when you play poker
but this fear I believe is due to our feeling of playing badly and not fear of losing
especially since the objective is to reach the final table and why not win thr tournament

you must not be afraid but rather be patient and focus in the game

1- have a strong mind
2 - no ego
3 - respect your playing range
4- become aware of your position at the table and what decision to make based on this position and the hand received
5- mark your opponents (NIT, TAG, Fish et) it help

That's the thing, but I've never had any fear in poker. Maybe because I started playing poker in offline freerolls in my city. Except when I won a freeroll at a poker club and it was late night (around 2 AM). But this fear was not related with poker, but that someone did not rob me at night. :ROFLMAO:

Being afraid is normal, but if you feel prepared for a certain situation it is easier to do so without fear, studying poker can help make this situation calmer.
tks for the tips

yes, like many people, there is a fear of running into money on the bubble, or on the turn you look 80 percent at winning and already in one place you feel that there will be 0 on the river

As for Me, I could call this not fear, but the different degrees of excitement, because for Me this is only the different degrees interesting to card Games!
Nothing less, but and nothing more! That's it!

I think it's good to be a little nervous, but I don't think you should be really scared.

I think some people mistake nerves in a big spot or an unfamiliar setting for fear.
I've played for nearly 30 years, live and online and to this day I'll get a rush of unexpected nerves in some spots in live games. Never fear, as I have enough seat time to not be afraid and be confident in my play, just random bouts of nervousness that pass within a few hands.
My take on it is if you're feeling fear while playing, you shouldn't be in that game.

it is better to play poker boldly, but wisely. you don't need to go all in every hand. but it is necessary to push or call early positions from the button with at least an average range.
