Combat fear of winning

Ivansito26 · Sep 20, 2017

For some time I have been obsessed with this aspect of psychology related to poker.

the case of winning, I always think, why not close and go with taste? Why risk losing cattle?
I know that this has to do with the short-term mentality, and it should not influence me, and I should think only in the long term, and be clear that once I finish a session is not influential, but unfortunately, despite knowing the theory, I can not put it into practice.

have been afraid of ever winning

Unless I'm playing against some psychopathic mobster who will break my legs if I beat him or his girlfriend or whatever, then no I don't ever fear winning.

That's when you offer to sell the mob some of your action, and get rolled for life!

Next thing you are being asked to smuggle drugs or kill a teenager in front of his parents for the brother snitching on the mob.

Never ever work with the Mafia, they never ever let you out no matter how 'little' you think you are with them it is quicksand that you don't want to set foot on.

Of course we all want to win a lot, but we must have a starting point and know when to stop, sometimes we win and we continue and when we realize we lose more ..

jejeje and thx for u opinion

Losing is part of learning and improving. You have no excuse at all now because free online poker exists so why are you even losing money when you can train for free?

That got dark quickly. Lesson learned, no working for the mob.

I guess I'll wait and see if this whole poker thing works out before turning to my life of crime.

Afraid to lose but not to win...

Fear is something that you must not allow it to change your plans. It is a feeling which must not be left to "act" alone. You must vanish it as soon as you can.

you own your actions, if you play safe you do not have to fear but sometimes the bad beat comes.

I believe everyone at the beginning go through this, I just went to understand the essence of poker after losing several times, is to study! today I play my game, which I believe to be doing correctly! table to table, unhurried, you do not win a tournament in the first few plays, you need to survive to get to FT, your strategy that will lead you to that! being with this mentality will only delay your victories!

Hi, my dear friend, in a personal sense, I've also been through this "fear of winning" situation, many times I've played tournaments (such as) that I was very close to winning, tournaments that I did not enjoy getting far because my mind was busy thinking that would happen if I would win a great tournament ... Nowadays I work in the psychological when I am playing important online tournaments and thinking only in my game.

Great contribution, greetings.
