Well I guess it all depends on the stakes played, doesn't it? I bet I'll be nervous on Sunday when playing PS 1 Million freeroll lol

I no longer get nervous when playing a normal tournament etc. But when I play big buy in tournaments with big gtds it would be a lie to say im not nervous a little before and find myself having to spend the first 20-30 mins calming down my nerves during the game.

I don't get nervous when i play, i could 3 barrel bluff all in and not be worried. but sometimes when i get monster like KK or AA... IF my adrenaline pumps before any action happens i get nervous cause i know!. it's a sign i'm going to lose the hand, but i ignore this sign every time.. get AA and my heart rate increases and i ask myself "Can you fold AA knowing we are about to lose a huge pot and be out of the tourney?" i still never fold it, happend 50 times to me or so over the years, always ends the same.. maybe someday i will obey the sign.

In such situations the adrenaline pump. I used to come into a situation where I'm throwing hand AA but are already on the flop came K4K so it was for me the best solution since the opponent rise me on flop.

I agree with you, the only problem is that I rarely take a break if we do not go.As if that makes me something to play on, instead of a break of 30 min

I get nervous when I'm defending in live poker. I'm terrible at counting chips LOL so it's probably a huge tell when I'm counting. I don't play much LIVE... mainly online.

Of course. It is impossible to stay calm during the game.

Every once in a while when I get a bad beat like I'm holding AK, flop is AK7, opponent is holding Q3. He goes all in, I call and i'm pretty happy about the double up until you see 2x QQ in the runner runner.

I smash my fist into the desk, take a moment to calm down and move on.

I feel nervous in two stages of the juice when I am about to enter the bubble to classify the prizes and when I reach final stages or final mensa are the two stages where I get a little nervous, if I'm online I smoke a cigarette and a glass Of water to relax and if it is offline I stop and stretch my legs a little in the final stages those nerves if they do not pass me is when I lose by the mistakes I make

yes, i'm very emotional player.but I realize it and I try to reduce consequences, so, for example, after unpleasant situations I try than to distract that to avoid mistakes.
a little my addiction - smoking helps with it.

It depends on where im at in the game and how much is at stake. In a freeroll i dont care, well i want to win but it dont affect me! When its gets down to the final two in a cash game i cant sit still i need to work on that!!

I was thinking the same thing the other night when I was playing live. I'm pretty good at generally hiding my nervousness, but I think everybody gets a little nervous when pulling off a massive bet or wondering if they're going to lose a huge pot.

I notice I tilt more and get more frustrated when I play online. Maybe because live you can't really yell at the table like you yell at your monitor. :) I'm definitely less nervous online obviously but feel much more comfortable live when someone beats me or sucks out.

No I am not nervous when I play, I am calm. You do not earn anything from being nervous.

It depends on the situation .... if you will map, just stop, and just throw cards until you pass ....
