How to keep your nerves calm when in nervous situations in poker

[ElUsuario]

I drink water and I try to remember a similar situation that has occurred in the past and I reflect the way how I acted

 

[TulasMoreno]

i need to calm my nerves right now couse im recieving a lot of bad beats!

 

[veronica]

For me it is a difficult issue to handle because I can hardly handle my nerves that in most cases culminate in anger, only hurting me.

 

[YoSoyMarce]

take a few seconds and think i need to keep the calm, and study your options in the table and and do what you need to do.

to stay calm and not be frustrated u have to get out from table for a moment until u come down .take a breath call some friends to talk and evacuate all stress

Hard to control nervousness, but sometimes being nervous is natural. The problem is when nerves lead to stress. If you are afraid to lose, then don't play. I'm not sure of the stats, but the best players in the world only actually "win" (not place) a small percentage of time.

I take some deep breathes and given enough time, I actually spin around in my chair a couple of times before I make a decision. This usually helps me slow down and be patient, especially when it's an all-in situation for my tournament life.

when I notice that I get nervous, I put on pause and stop playing (even if it is a tournament), I understand that to lose more if I continue to play in this condition))) go to smoke and drink coffee)))

I am not yet succeeded to calm my nerves down. I am a emotional person generally. That is a problem that I have to solve if I want to become a better player.

Music, green tea and breaks for an hour or more - it helps me to keep calm.
It is important for me in a difficult moment distracted by something else and forget about the troubles at the table.

All the young players at the beginning of his career, going through such times. Over time, it will pass. Experience will make its job

 

[Havik]

Its comes with time imo. You will naturally start to get less nervous the more you play. It also helps when you play within your bankroll.

When playing in online to keep my nerves down I put some classic music to calm myself

I noticed such a moment ,if you play first in the tournament and then cash games the focus as before is not the same,tell me what to do in such situations

 

[nafanyalg]

Always before an important step, trying to assess his actions and playing the hand. Don't play this hand, else there will be a lot of hands. Is it worth the risk with this hand - that is the main issue. How do you assess the situation you're in.

getting away from the nervousness in the game of poker

I escape from all the bs in my life when I play poker..chewing gum usually helps me a lot and drinking beer

 

[AhiRaviv]

Work Out!!!!

working out is very important!!
lets you sit tight and not doing something stupid like shuving Q-10 off suit on the bubble lol!!!

 

[antonis32123]

deep breath, ice tea, chill music. Thats my idea to keep distance from nerves.


but it's not working as long time:S

Some good advice here .
Also if you wanna stay calm in nervous situations , if yousmoke , smoke like hell ,hehe... IF you lose chips don't think about it , think chips like stones or sth irrelevant , sth you don't care , not money , so you relax .Try larger breaks , 2-4 mins before the actual break begins , if/when you're nervous ,then you will be closing your eyes and relaxing completely as if you were sleeping
