I'm usually calm until the final table, and as I get closer to the end, my heart rate rises.

While I get super excited when I have a good hand, I also get really down when that same good hand loses to a bad hand on the river.

Whenever I'm getting close to the prize zone my heart beats faster and I end up getting restless, so I prefer to play online, because I end up getting restless in that part of tournaments, and that would certainly be used against me in live games.

This already happened with me a few times, but it's not a common situation. The few times it happened I was on tilt and playing on stakes that I should not be playing.

This is a very irrational feeling which can be combated by reminding yourself about the logic of what's going on. Why get worked up over something you can't control. It's like you might win, you might lose, maybe even a little of column A, and a little of column B.

You need to accept what you are getting yourself into, and then accept you might lose a bunch of money and their is literally nothing you can do about it.

That should help minimize the heart rate problems.

You need to take care of your heart and not let it prevent unnecessary stress, especially because of poker

Lol, I guess this means you have emotions? Like, why so many people love to gamble and there are so many addicts? Because betting and seeing of you will get lucky is pure adrenaline, so its pretty normal to have your heart beats going up

In poker, without this, nowhere, the closer to the final, the higher the pulse. I usually do this with aces when you want to play them and you unexpectedly catch your opponent's nuts.

My heart rate increases only on live events.

Heart rate varies with the river and with the FT

Hahaha it seems funny but if the game affects my heart rate it happens to me sometimes I feel that my hand is going to kill me with a heart attack with $5 in the pot

But don't worry, the riskier you are, it will pass

this is normal. Adrenaline is released into the blood. Yes, we are trying to keep everything under control. But human physiology is more complicated ....

When I first started playing my heart rate would go up in a big hand but now as long as it's beating I'm still alive.
