At first I was a little cautious, but it wasn't fear. But as soon as I started playing poker I started to feel very confident and I continue to play for success.

No, I am not afraid. Since I did not deposit my personal money. I started building my bankroll with freerolls.
However, the day before yesterday I qualified from the freeroll in stages to a major tournament with an entry of $ 1,050. And I'm a little afraid to play it. I am afraid to miss the opportunity to significantly increase my bankroll.

Cool question! Indeed, it really was! For a long time I played only for play money, and if I always refused to play for real money, for some reason it was scary to play with them. And then one of my friends transferred one dollar to the cashier, and said that the gift, you can dispose of it as you like, advised me to go into quick tournaments for 0.10 cents, and did so, imagined that I was playing on conditional and the process went)) ... The fear is gone.

I love playing poker for real money. In fact, I have not played in any way other than for real money for a long time.

If your income is low and you are investing in poker more than 20% of your income in poker and you do not see results in the short or long term, relax and place only a little money in your bank and so you can play freely, Yes in Change all your income comes from poker, just be patient, study a little, observe your rivals and plan according to your table how to play against each one, if they are passive, aggressive or neutral and now focus on what you are doing without distractions and you will see the best results you will have.

Yes, of course it stresses me more when I play money games. More money more stress, but I am trying to overcome it. It limit your chance of winning. Fear is always destructive, we make decision to avoid the pain instead to increase our stock. We try more defence than attack. All negative feelings are disturbing.

I was definitely scared when I first started. Any higher stakes games would give me the chills. But the more you play, the more you get used it. If you use good bankroll management, you shouldn’t be that scared and treat everything as big blinds. I don’t play professionally so I don’t have much pressure.

Playing the play money is like having sex in a condom. Feelings are not the same.:joyman:

I have no such fear. I try to play only my limits, and everything that is more expensive I play only with tickets. So everything is under control: D

Before the game, I have a great desire to win as many hands as possible. A little disappointment comes when I play a session in the negative. In order not to be afraid of losing, you need to play by bankroll.

Hi Friend.

Never, the 40 dollars I won for cash-bask, I spent it playing, I reloaded a couple more times and then when I found my game, I started to be more careful, I haven't reloaded for a long time and I never will. do it Now is the time to dedicate myself to growing my money.

tell us more about it how did you overcome your fear?

I don't believe I ever had a fear of playing w/real money, it was more of a fear of losing it, especially online. Once I learned how to lose or conceive an understanding of bankroll management the logic sank in and here we are. :)

Everyone has different opportunities, but it seems to me that a big plus if you play for your own money is a more serious attitude to the game and yet another community, a different level of play and a lot of things you can learn. No one says to play for $50 or more right away, you can start and satellites are cheap
