I'm not afraid of anything because it's a game. But the thing I don't like most about poker is when I play in an expensive tournament and get knocked out of it one seat before the prize money and as a result I don't get a cent for a long period of time.

When I sit down to play, I hope for luck and good fortune, good luck, if I’m unlucky, it doesn’t matter

My main fear in Poker, by the way, as and in Life, that I haven't sometimes any fear in during my actions...
Because, if I have any fear in these moments, possibly I could to do less mistakes, as in Poker, so and in Life!

when there are about three tables left, you all have restal stacks at the table, and you push 20 bb from sb to bb with a bad hand, because the pushing range in such positions is very wide and you can push almost any two, because you have to take these 3 bb that lie in the center of the table, because otherwise it will be very difficult for you to get into the prizes, it can be scary sometimes, but I can handle it

don't play with fear my friend, fear will only make you make the worst decisions
I disagree. Fear is present in many things during our day to day lives, and how we handle fear is what's important. Not letting it control our emotions and decisions is how we do that if we are to be successful at anything.

You don't have to be afraid of anything, you have to enjoy the game. If it doesn't work out, it's better not to play.

My biggest fear in poker is when you're playing as usual, betting on the streets and you get all in from an unknown player and you've already loaded a lot of chips into the pot. There is a fear of making the wrong decision, because in poker one wrong decision can greatly affect the outcome of a tournament, for example...

I'm not afraid of losing at poker.
I try to make the best possible choice while playing and see the results.
It is possible to win or lose.
This is normal, this is the poker game.
From my point of view

Hello, I'm not afraid, but if I were afraid it would be of losing ha ha ha, just kidding. I think the fear of playing wouldn't let you do it so just have fun. Greetings

Fear of playing higher stakes/ I've kinda capped myself at micro-stakes even though I'm absolutely crushing them, and could probably beat a few levels above with roughly the same ROI, just don't like the idea of $500-1k downswings.

What's the biggest fear in poker? What are you afraid of at the table?
I am afraid of only one thing, wasting my time in vain. Sometimes I play poker for 5-6 hours in a row, and when I realize how much time I have spent on the game, it scares me. I could spend this time on something more useful, something where the result would be visible immediately. But such thoughts occur to me only when I won nothing or won very little :)

When I play poker, I don't think I'm scared. It seems to me that most players are not afraid when playing. I think it's a different feeling and it's called “doubt.”

For me, poker is a hobby, so I approach it in a relaxed and stress-free way. There is nothing to be afraid of.

I’m afraid when I go all-in with a good card that they will beat me to a position higher 😂for example, I’m with 22 and my opponent is with 33
