I used to get pissed off :banghead: and stressed out. Quitting was not an option as I purely enjoy playing..

Cardschat saved me with the freerolls. No longer stressed out about losing $$.

Now if I lose to bad beats or my poor play I just tell myself well.........

It is not stressing me, I think that it is relaxing me, at the end, because it is an exciting game, where I apply my decisions and see the results of my actions! This gives a great satisfaction winning or losing, because it is a sequence!

I agree
playing in the club does not make me as nervous as in other games
here many are already familiar to me at the tables and only I am responsible for my decision
lost - accept defeat with dignity

Poker does not stress me out as I play for fun and never play for high stakes as I know that would stress me out even if I have more bankroll in account. Stick to your game that is comfortable to you.

The only times I notice real stress from it is probably the times I overextend and play stakes too high for my bankroll or the times I go extremely deep in a tourney and each place has a huge money gap in it. Besides those times its just a blast and even those times its a thrill so no complaints here

One of the big mistakes that makes us nervous is forgetting where the reset button is
if there is no discipline, then stress is inevitable

No, I don't get stressed playing poker. I enjoy it for the entertainment. If I lose money, it can be irritating, but I'm not that concerned. I always am prepared mentally to lose money, so I don't make that many large bets.

No way, if this is happening, you need to stop and rethink about your game and what may be happening, if necessary it is better to stop for a while and rethink about everything that is happening in your life

Not usually, but sometimes poker really stresses me, specially after bad beats. Last week, poker really stressed me because my party poker account was hacked and that was so frustrating :(

Some Poker tournaments are a bit long, so sometimes the stress affect me. It is difficult to maintain a strategy for long hours.

I wish I could say that poker does not stress me, many times I lose a tournament and I do not sleep thinking a thousand ways that I could have played the hand that I lost and well, obviously I play for fun but when I lose it frustrated me and I still cannot change that, it will be that I need to mature enough in this poker

I have had times where I needed to take a break.
If poker is making you not like yourself then it’s time for a realignment.
A break
Some study time

Refresh
Get back on the horse

I really lost motivation end of last year to play poker...i played spin & go's and CC tourneys mostly...I Don't know what happend, i quess i was just too busy in real life and didnt had that time to grind poker. Thats why i also got removed from FRC list. But in the end i didnt really lost anything..I mean real life cash wise...Didnt win anything or lost anything..So i can call that break even. But motivation came back and have bit more time in real life, so i decided to return. Let's see what happens :p

I get very stressed the moment I am eliminated. But the anger and discomfort does not last long. Soon I get distracted and forget.
I try to enjoy the game and not give in to the pressure of good results.

Of course, stress in poker happens a lot. because you never know how the game will turn out today, but that's why we love poker!

I am certainly stressed when I play poker for many days in a row, after a while without playing everything is back to normal.

No I try and only play with good intentions and will stop playing for awhile if I get to stressed. I try and enjoy it as much as possible but if it gets stressful it’s no fun to me.
