Message: [QUOTE="billbaffles, post: 3054885, member: 191149"] I used to get nervous every time i entered a hand. I would bet pot with nothing and hope my opponent would fold and a lot of times they wouldnt and I would lose all my money. That was when i first started out. I remember getting nervous in live games with big hands like AA or KK but people still called. Sometimes though, i think everyone folded because they saw how nervous i had become and it was a tell that i had a monster. I also still sometimes get nervous playing online but what ive found really takes the nerves away is playing at a stake that does not change my bankroll much. Right now i usually buy in at .0006 of my total bankroll which really minimizes the money aspect and allows me to concentrate on the poker aspect of the game. I still get nervous calling large raises or moving all in with AA and then usually angry if i lose. I think nervousness and anger go side by side. [/QUOTE]
