There is no need for a spirit of steel.

Having a spirit of stee in poker involves maintaining a calm and focused mindset, regardless of wins or losses. Practice emotional discipline, stay strategic, and avoid letting emotions influence your decisions. Analyze each hand objectively and learn from both successes and mistakes to enhance your overall gameplay.

I know exactly how you feel because I've gone through the same thing, both at the table and while living my life in general. It will probably always be there, so the trick is to not let it show. Confidence in yourself and what you are doing is the key to keeping it hidden safely away within you. :)

To fix, you probably need to understand the reason. Is it anxiety of possibly loosing money? Is it excitement? Is it a medical condition? Whence you have a good understanding, surely the fix will be easy.

You need confidence and with practice and play you will feel better, Try meditation and breathing. Practice concentrating on your breathing and it can bring your heart rate down. and the most important don't play with fear just relax and try to have fun.

I love movie quotes, and I think that this one fits into the theme of the thread.

Bravery And Being Scared Humphrey Bogart

IMO there's no short term 'fix' for this, just try to play in games that you're comfortable in(that won't affect your bankroll much if you lose and also where the field isn't that tough* maybe play for a while some low buy-in mtts and/ or freerolls...); after some time, you'll gain more experience and hopefully after a few good results- you'll be able to build confidence in your game(it's always a good idea to study often and be prepared for different spots) and this will result in having confidence in your game both live and online that in theory should help a lot with the tremble problem...

Being steel in poker is not easy, sometimes you have to make compromises to maintain yourself 😃
Sometimes, or most of the time, you succeed, if the position also favors you. Take advantage of everything you can but don't cut the crack from under your feet 😉.

you need to play a lot of poker and after a few years when you play poker for a very long time, it will go away by itself. When you do it for the first time you can always shiver, well, after a while, when it happens many times, you will get used to it and won't worry, it just takes a little time
