Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 4226839, member: 33113"] Totally agree! I experience ZERO stress while playing poker. What's there to stress about? I've read a number of answers on here suggesting how stressful it is when you don't win anything in a tournament. Guess what... 85 to 90% of the players in a tournament do not win any money in THAT tournament. Guess what else, most players do not win money even in the longrun (they don't even break even). How is playing a game, focusing on making optimal/good decisions stressful? I honestly don't understand where the stress comes into play? Also, how does 'taking time off' help with it? (as I've also seen regularly suggested). [/QUOTE]
