What do you feel in your stomach when you play $$$

[CrossedLine]

I differ from the majority of the opinions on here. I love that feeling, and have it pretty constantly for any money, even a dollar sng at a friends house. Maybe I am too emotional but when I have a bad play that bites me in the ass I have trouble getting over it for the night. Keeps poker fun for me.

My stomach is sickness for 100$ with me for the cash games.
but low money like 1.25$ or 3.50$ tournament is bleh!:icon_monk

Usually I feel fine. But after a big loss or taking a bad beat...the next time I sit down I usually feel quite a bit of apprehension. Don't know if it's in my stomach but I feel it. I use it for good as it keeps me from overbetting!!

no buterfly but because I have a dragon, when I lose a big pot.
.. but when I get a big pot, or come to the final table, I have a mild orgasm

I still get butterflies/bubbles in my stomach when I play. Sometimes I get them more than other times. I think it depends on how much I care about winning at the time, and how relaxed I am around the people I am playing against (if it is live). The amount of money that is on the line is a big factor to me as well, even a mall amount will make my stomach go crazy if I don't have a large bankroll to back myself up.

Really you should feel the same way wether playing a freeroll or a cash game ,if you are getting butterflys then you are probably afraid of losing the money, thats not the way to approach poker always play what you can afford and play at the right level , that way you can put all your energy into the game and forget about the $£ value.

 

[racorel]

in a big pot .... when must to come la last card(river).....butterflies begin to make his head.....especially if your opponent has better cards until then or if it has more chances to win

 

[domeburglar]

I used to get real nervous when I started playing live cash games. It would get me every time when I would first sit down.. Once i gained experience it became second nature to be on the felt...

I think just like with anything the more you do it the more comfortable you get.. Sometimes i still get that nervous feeling for the first orbit or two when i havent played in a while

 

[stefffan1]

Maybe it's not a good sign but I always feel butterflies in my stomach when I'm playing for money. It's an extraordinary feeling and if I win it becomes even better but if I lose it's awful , I'm angry and depressed for a short time...This is the bad part , but the feeling I have when I play is fantastic.

 

[Tunas]

Butterflies...
but i start sweating when in a hard move, so i guess i cant bluff too much. ahaha

 

[bananebrune]

Butterflies happen even on mini stakes games

 

[trekmaster]

Once in a while my stomach may tighten up when Im bluffing at a multi player pot other than that its just adrenaline and I love that part.

 

[Buxa228]

Just a "simple" adrenaline rush (constant in Turbo/Hyper-Turbo games )!

 

[Buxa228]

adrenaline, I play Hyper-Turbo games

 

[Kibic1302]

When I play. I feel the adrenaline, every good hand, double-up. I feel joy.

 

[AcesUp747]

I've played millions of hands online, but I get nervous every time I play live.

Honestly, I have a few drinks just to calm my nerves. Seems to help me relax and not be so serious.

Fish like to have a good time, so if you end up being that douche in sunglasses who stares people down and takes forever to act, chances are the guppies will pick up their chips and go play roulette or something else.

 

[fasteddee74]

This only happens when I play live. I find that the first pot I play I get the shakes and find myself not breathing trying not to give anything away. After that I am fine and it is business as usual.

 

[matiaz_rlz]
