Do You Get Nervous When You Play?

ritmos · Mar 1, 2017

Yes, I'm crazy when I lose. I shout at the monitor bad words and stomp my feet on the ground (only when there is no one beside me!).
I'm running to smoke.

A game "myocardium"
* You chose a good term hahaha. You are very right the fact that you are sitting at a table playing live or in front of the computer does not leave out the reactions of our body in the face of difficult decisions or the fear of being caught in some strategy of trying to steal some poker hand without any value. (A streetlight).
We need to know how to control these symptoms, keep calm so we do not reveal our weaknesses.

Haha I share your words In my case, when I have a good hand before the flop I get a little nervous to see which player is going to pay and what happens next. In case of winning I feel a great joy and the nerves go away. But in case of losing with bad beats the nerves and the anger increase lol

cjhanas · Mar 1, 2017

The bigger the game and the more aggressive players there are, the more nervous i am. But usually better to be nervous than angry, just my opinion.

niphon56 · Mar 10, 2017

YA! Big buy-in tournament & all-in at late stage always let me nervous.

evan20002 · Mar 10, 2017

I get very nervous when the lose agro donks re raise me all in when i have AA and then bad beat me with trash hands
here is one example
http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-hands/Boom/19255553_01F252304D
Usually I hit the pc table & breathе deep
This people are making me to believe that poker is game just of luck and not of skill because they always badbeat me when i have monster hands (i cant understand how and what they think do they think ooh i have 72 i fell lucky lets go all in ?!?!)

Well, I do not consider myself a donkey, But I will go all in with trash starting hands if the price is right and I believe I have two live cards. There has been quite a few occasions when I knew I was behind pre-flop and still called all in because I knew that my opponents were blocking each other. If two opponents go all in and I am pretty certain they have strong aces and are not paired, I sometimes will call with hands like7-5 8-6 J-4 9-4 and 5-8. I know it sucks having ones pocket aces get cracked. What helps calm me down is to remember that I was dealt that hand by the computer in order to be set up to lose

I seem to get nervous playing poker depending on the situation I'm in. Getting close to a tournament cash seems to get me nervous, because the blinds are sky high at that point and I over analyze (if such a thing as over analyzing exist in poker). bluffing in live games also get's me nervous, which is why I seldom do it, which is one weak point I need to strengthen. What gets me nervous the most is playing at stakes I shouldn't be playing. I just find myself becoming bored of grinding and want to jumpstart my bankroll. I learned after a lot of losses that once you get bored, don't move up to stakes you can hardly afford, just quit playing. That becomes tricky because sometimes you believe you can afford to play those stakes but you truly cant. I watched a strategy video earlier and at one point of the video Chris Ferguson said that one shouldn't buy in for a cash game that's more than 5% of their bankroll or a tournament that's more than 2% of their bankroll.

Clint Dohrman · Mar 12, 2017

everybody gets nervous playing poker. me personally I very good at showing no emotion at all I can be playing against u and have the same facial expression on he whole time.

Jeffrey Uitbeijerse · Mar 12, 2017

Well, I managed to make $0,28 of a CC social media freeroll, and I wanted to start a BR of freerolls. I played a couple of $0,02 tourneys and I got on my first FT ever and my hands started sweating like crazy. I went out in second place for $3,30. I thought it was very funny that I could be so nervous over such a small amount of money.

Poker Orifice · Mar 12, 2017

"It depends"
At times in live tournaments I do start off the first couple levels pretty nervous. It's usually due to assuming the others know what they're doing (have never taught myself how to riffle chipstack) & then after a level or so I discover what I wish I'd been doing & the jitters are gone.

pashkawell · Mar 13, 2017

You need to always work on yourself and be patient. Only then you can expect a big victory. Good luck in the game)

NKSJP04 · Mar 13, 2017

I play online so it doesn't matter. I can bring the laptop on with me if I have to, but I find that I have to go to the bathroom a lot. This didn't use to be the case but now I gotta go like a camel.

Entrik · Mar 14, 2017

Previously, maybe nervous and now it's like something less generally, especially and I'm not worried)

Vlad symrak · Mar 14, 2017

Nervous you always is extremely a gamble!The normal reaction to a stressful situation.It is possible to reduce but not get rid of possible.Have to live with it...
