many times with the publications of other members I feel more than identified.
Many times it happens to me that it is the other way around, I usually get more nervous in a good game of poker
Try listening to calm music while playing poker. At first, playing the flute helped me a lot. :rolleyes:

Especially at a final table, people do crazy attacks and crazy combinations come on the table. Not good for the heartbeat.

That's why I love poker, for a lot of emotions, both positive and negative, and the better I play, the more positive emotions I experience.

I dont think it's true, poker can be very stressful

The life of a poker player is unpredictable. This is as much a given as the fact that the sky above our heads is blue, a person can't do without water, and that mismatched people have at least once run over your pocket aces. No matter whether you're playing poker professionally or just for fun, this game is definitely not for the faint of heart people.

Poker players are constantly faced with challenges and accept certain challenges. And these challenges and difficulties are not always directly related to poker, sometimes they are only indirectly related to it.

Many poker players ' Hobbies involve risk in one way or another. If a player is interested in sports, then they will certainly be interested in sports betting to some extent. And often this is not just a desire to charge pointlessly to the right or left, but a desire to thoroughly understand everything in order to make only obvious +EV bets.

And so it is in everything, because the concept of EV is extremely important for a poker player, in all aspects of his life.

Due to the fact that poker players are used to walking through life side-by-side with various manifestations of risk, they are distinguished by an incredible stress tolerance. They are more comfortable with many things that will unbalance the average person in the blink of an eye.

“Anything that doesn't kill us makes us stronger.” This idea was put forward to the masses by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. He believed that the various difficulties we face throughout our lives are a kind of catalyst for personal and professional growth. Like, if a person always goes like clockwork, then he will never get the most valuable handful of knowledge and skills.

It's definitely not instant gratification. That's for sure.

When I began to play poker, trying to start having nice results, the game was a little bit stressy. I am generally not anxious. When my game stabilized, and saw the consecutive results the satisfaction started to grow! This satisfaction erased all the stress. Poker became an ally against stress sources. What do you think?
I don't think so. I consider poker to be a highly stressful game. However, it is a great exercise to learn how to deal with stress. I have improved my game and I am learning to deal with stress. I take some change from the break. This is much better than the other games in which I spent hours of my time without even the expectation of making a profit from it.

It depends on the goal you have in poker, how much and how far you want to go. If you love poker, that satisfaction makes you forget other things that may affect you and if you can also achieve your goals, it is the best thing that can happen to you. I am happy for you that you are reaching those goals, I hope you can continue to climb. Good luck!

If you play according to your bankroll, you will not be afraid of any stress, your current laziness will interfere with you, so you have to fight with it)

No ambition means stress free. Big ambition means stress. As simple as that

It's good that you were able to deal with stress thanks to poker. This is usually achieved when there is humility with a negative result. If you accept defeat calmly and enjoy the game process, then this is quite an achievable result. For me, poker was a source of satisfaction, then a source of stress. Therefore, I can't give a definite answer. It all depends on the person.
