Why would I be afraid? 🤔it's just a game, where your decision-making will take you further or not.🙂

I'm afraid the aggressive player will come out of the screen with a big axe to avenge me taking his chips. :giggle:

The thing that worries me the most is that the electricity or communication can go off at any moment. A kind of game with obstacles.

The sets, I mean sometimes you're pretty sure that you got the winning hand with two pairs, there's no chance of color or straight, but surprise he got a set 💔

My biggest fear in poker is the government shutting us off from poker once and for all online.

I used to be afraid of negative variance, now I understand that it's part of the game and I'm getting used to it happening to me at any time.

I have nothing to fear :)
Sometimes there are moments when the opponent is bluffing, and I'm not sure if that's really the case. Such moments do not bring me fear, but there is a certain unpleasant feeling when I do not understand what decision to make.

Probably most of all I'm afraid that my best hand will be beaten by a hand of lesser strength, to be honest, sometimes it really hinders.

That's a very good question! My main fear is when I go all-in with "KK" and my opponent has "AA". That's pre-flop. It's also scary when you have >90% advantage on the turn and on the river your opponent has a straight or top pair (or second pair). But I'm not afraid of anything! Let my opponents be afraid of my fox on my avatar! :eek::sneaky:

Bad beats, because they're generally something you have little to no control over. Then again, everyone has to deal with them, so it helps to know I'm not the only one getting taken out by a miracle.

I fear nothing while playing online poker. However I am uncomfortable playing live poker against drunk/high players. A pit boss at our local quiet little casino was beaten to death by a drunken/high player while he was enforcing the table rules.

fears do a lot of harm, don't play in tournaments where you're afraid to fly out

I don't think poker has anything to do with fear. In poker there are many sensations such as adrenaline, hope, love, satisfaction, joy. But you'll never be afraid. Poker is passion.

I think fear is the wrong word to describe my emotions when I play poker!!! Most often these emotions can be described as disappointment or anger, rather than fear!!! I couldn’t even simulate a situation in which I would be scared while playing poker :confused:
