As a rule, in the game I am calm like a boa constrictor. However, if there is a very decent prize at stake, it makes me somewhat alarmed in the game, which in itself prevents a clearly positive outcome.

Being tense is what makes the game good if any sport you feel nothing about, there is no reason why we practice heart comes out of the mouth depending on the value of the plays

It depends on the situation, if I am losing in poker I get tense, but if I am winning I am calm and happy.

When I play poker, I have tension in certain moments, relaxation comes with getting into the money.

Perhaps due to external factors, that the internet signal drops or that they call you just when you are playing. As for if a game makes me nervous of course not, I play to relax, have fun and learn

Generally I am calm in the game, except some moments where there is intensity, like an all-in situation, or near the bubble in a tournament. The important is that this intensity is reducing as the experiences are coming with the game.

Yes

Yes, if the hand really matters then I might get tense.

I don't think there is a player who doesn't feel the tension of the game. Personally, if I didn't feel those emotional states during the game, I think I would give up playing, I wouldn't see why to continue if he doesn't give me those emotions ...

I am extremely calm, but I confess that I sometimes get very tense playing, especially at the final table.

;)I don't always feel nervous, especially in slow and turbo tournaments, and also cash games. But I'm very stressed out in hyper turbo games

Not for now.

After losing $ 40 playing this game, it doesn't hurt or worry me anymore. :)

The closer the end of the tournament is, the more tension grows, which is completely expected.

If sometimes it happens to me and I think it's because of anxiety, sometimes I get a little tense or nervous because I don't want my opponents to get their projects and I try to take care of the hands that I play.

I'm also calm, but tension is normal in poker and I often feel it as I get close to entering the winning seats in a tournament and I feel it more at cash games.

I try to be calm throughout the tournament, but when we are at the final table and already in the first positions, the anxiety and nervousness to be first begin to appear haha.

I learned to keep as calm as possible while playing because it can affect my decision making sometimes. But in crucial hand i find my heart racing a little

It's the same thing that happens to me, because when you play the whole tournament you have a calmness, but when you get to the final table, your nerves fail you and you don't want to make mistakes and that's a very strong feeling, which is very difficult to control.

I was very tense at first, but now I'm calm, I treat the game like listening to music

I'm usually calm, but when it comes to the final table, I try to be calm and take my time. The final table is a game where you have to make thoughtful decisions.
