fear of playing for money

[Igor Popadyk]

play according to your bankroll and so that losing does not put pressure on you psychologically, I think that you play much more freerolls than tournaments for money, after all, they play for money more meaningfully

By my private opinion, if somebody is fearing to play in Poker for Money, then don't need to play in Poker! The all is simply and clearly! That's all!

The result in such cases is usually always the same: the more you worry about losing money, the more likely it is that you will lose every penny.If a player is afraid of losing money, his approach to the game completely changes. He's no longer trying to win. He tries to lose as little as possible. And this affects all his decisions during the game. In situations where he needs to take risks, he will not do so, since the risk can lead to losing a large pot. In situations where you need to protect your hand, scared money will prefer to play it safe. All moves become uncertain and panicky.

play as if you're always in a tournament, and don't play with more than you are willing to lose

If you play properly bankrolled you have nothing to worry about.

Its probably easier to gradually add buyins into your mix of games. Its ok if you want to play less games if you are playing buyins.

I like to watch the buyin level I will be playing before hand and get a feel and take notes.

Play with patience and when you are not lucky and you loose with big hands, take break or change table.......but the patience is the key

Playing a satellite freeroll is not the same as playing with your own money, many times when we play freerolls we have a little more freedom to play, you make bets that you wouldn't make in cash tournaments and that type of things, you are only investing time and knowledge, When you play with your money you surely feel a little more pressure because you are playing with your money which you do not want to lose and logically you want to make profits, in short the pressure to not lose your money makes you make mistakes, which makes you not take risks and play with fear, it doesn't happen to everyone but for some people it is like that
