Experience. The more time you spend at the tables and playing, the less nervous you'll be.

Absolutely true, the more u play the more calm ull be, i remember first time i played live poker, my heart was in my throat, i was nervous, my hands were shaking when tried to bet or collect my chips, but as i played more and more, those things go away, now im calm, no shaking of the hands, and i pick up on those things at other players to spot the fish :D

Online nerves is not problem.
Live is very important not to show it, even when the situation is critical.
The rule is to feel all the emotions and express nothing.
I always play Online and the nerves is not Problem.

Exercising before I play has always helped me play more focused and relaxed. Exercise is one of the best natural stress relievers.

Prepared

Be prepared. Go into each hand with a plan based on position and the opponents. The more prepared you are, the easier the decisions are and the more calm you will be.

drugs are not the way out.
Any intervention from outside the body, it will affect a sober assessment. To avoid this necessary exercise and respiratory failure. Stress and panic will only worsen the situation, you need to learn to give and take. If it can achieve, you have a good poker player, but if you resort to drugs, you do not believe in yourself, and therefore you are a bad player.

I think there are many top players who def use drugs....it all depends on the person. Some people play better, some play worse.

Hi,this is familiar to all players of the situation cannot Nikolka to do so,if not turned something in one hand you don't need to freak out and put all your remaining chips,it's not a solution,it is necessary to collect all will power and wait until a strong hand or strong draw

I believe that drugs are nothing to do with the man himself inspires, that he had used the drug and have to play better,he actually can play well without the use of drugs

Don't quite understand your post,but as I understand you want to say that we should not pay attention to rudeness of other players?in this I fully agree with you,some online poker players use mental otaku,make you nervous,don't be fooled.

I think the longer you play,the more experience you gain in the game and you already do not pay attention to minor setbacks in the game and less nervous,which is progress actually

You need to relax. Be distracted, for example listening musics and practice enough and keep the concentration, try to control yourself.
