Is póker as stressful a game as it seems?

[WellAA]

Yes, very streessfull, as it requires as lot of patience. If you are a yogi, you might see it as a kind of math meditation, but I don't.

Certainly meditation and Yoga, good tools to just receive what You got when connected with the table, or call the bluffs if You will, You don't expect to win with Your beautiful AA always isn't it?

it depends, if you are already a stressed person you will get even more stressed, especially with the painful bed beats.

but if you are looking to improve your stress, poker will also help you with that, to have more patience to wait for good hands.

Poker is a little stressful for me, but not as much as it seems.

I play poker to destress! Firing up a few tables and concentrating on the games is a great way to unwind and forget about everything else!!

As long as you feel like you're playing well and understand that that's the key to playing poker, it shouldn't cause you stress.

For me, poker is fun. But sometimes it causes a lot of negative emotions 😀

In any case, a good poker player should be stress-resistant, several bad beats in a row can make you mad, angry, enter into a tilt, and this is not to be allowed.

I don't think so, it's just cards and math... I find the people more stress inducing😉

Sometimes it's more stressful than it seems when you play well. Or at least try to and lose against totally ridiculous hands and when you're faced with weird moves that sometimes make you lose patience and you end up exploding and starting one at a time. play bad. Personally, sometimes I stress more than I should.

 

[Eduard0Felipe]

If it's stressful you shouldn't play.

I play, even if I never hit my flush and the guys take my chips with their flush, even if they're tripping all the time, having pocket pair or not, I'm still happy.

Weirdly enough the most stressful I've found is when your deep ITM, going good and have a big stack 🤷

If it gets stressful but you enjoy the challenge it's all fine.
