For me it's before the game starts, don't know why but the first two hands my hands are shaking real bad.
Actually I do know why. It's because I'm so excited about playing and so full of hope as to what's going to happen. (This could be the one)

Before the tournament starts...

When you need to tint, but you understand that you don't have nuts)

Also at the final table, when the last 9 people remain and the game becomes very responsible.

I get most nervous 2 times playing poker. When I bet a big bluff or a bet when I have a big hand or the nuts, waiting for a call or fold. Gets the juices flowing!

I'm most nervous when I have AA and I lose ... But the game is a risk. I used to be nervous about a lot of things. Now I have learned a lot from you. Now I'm holding myself. Thank you and that there is such a forum. :jd4:

Yep, daft isn't it. Played for 30 years. Still the most nervous I get is before it starts.

By the 3rd hand I'm fine, and I don't get nervous with big hand or bluffing or making the final table. It's all just poker, but before it stats my hands are shaking.

A few minutes before a tournament, I feel joy and excitement and I am very focused. After a few hands the tension subsides a bit. I'm always a little nervous in important hands (especially when I'm holding the nuts or just nothing). I only get really nervous as a short stack with less than 15 BB when it comes to survival in the tournament. :eek:

The bigger the tournament, the more nervous I'd get. Especially deep into it. I remember being nervous playing the RIU Reno Main Event one time because every other player at my table was a good pro, streamer, or YouTube vlogger. I was the only normal rec player. Was awesome being next to Andrew Neeme!

I would not call nervousness but anxiety, I get very anxious before starting the tournament and then during the tournament it will lower the anxiety and increase the adrenaline to continue playing this mind-blowing game.

For me the most nervous moments are two, one, once the game has started I am nervous about grabbing all the possible chips that will take me out of the last places and thus start playing more calmly. Number two, when I am about to reach the final table, I always feel nervous about wanting to arrive and win first place, sometimes I get frustrated when things don't go my way and I lose. More than moments, I also get nervous when it is a tournament with a big prize (for example, those three-day tournaments in which you can win up to almost 1 million dollars) it's great to be in them but I always end up playing badly because I can't control my anxiety. I hope in the future to control this anxiety in a better way. Regards.

I get nervous when I have a strong pair in my hands and I am losing.:(:)

Lol I know the feeling, happens way too often but at least the adrenaline helps you make more precious choices.

When I do a bad move and I get nervous waiting for the other players reaction.
