How to keep your nerves calm when in nervous situations in poker

wc2hell · Jun 2, 2016

I think its all about your mind. Just try to say to yourself "I can keep calm" and its alright.

I may not have the best poker face but I try and imagine that I have a winning hand even when I don't. I want to seem happy, confident, like it's a great thing if you call me.

Im usually only nervous if Im playing outside of my bankroll. After all tomorrow is another day

I have to take a break after a bad beat. And must remid myself that I too give others a bad beat occasionally.

I agree with you,very nice to get tips from girls

I think a long-term approach is helpful. I would say staying calm is a combination of things. Eating healthy, exercise, and lots of experience to build confidence in your own abilities. Becoming an expert at anything means you wont become nervous even at the highest level so you can perform at your best. Learning strategy, tactics, and then having ability to put them into practice. Also, nothing wrong with wanting to win, but also being able to deal with losing helps as well. The healthiest, knowledgeable, confident, and experienced players are going to stay the calmest in every situation.

I believe that nothing can't be better then time. Only time could heal the injury of lost. However, right after you lose, just close the table and poker client and start do something else (go kitchen, go bathroom, or in the yard), play your pets....
In this case, do not forget save the hand history to make sure in the future you will make work on mistake.

Drink a water, listen calm music, think in other things, and say to myself "keep calm" sometimes this is the best way to really keep calm, your brain comand your body to it.

I just turn on classical music and make some tea.It's enough to calm down and focus on game.

the Russians have a saying: "unlucky at cards - lucky in love." when I have no luck in poker, I'm going to have sex - helps =)

Good day to all,I want to share my success,I read a lot of tips in this topic, many really helped me to control myself and get to the final table,not taking drugs ,not prima alcohol,not listening to music in General who wonder how to keep their emotions in check and not do something stupid in the game failures then read the advice of people they really help,and write your cases

I like to smoke hookah while playing . It works for me

adamovic · Sep 15, 2016

just quit de table for a moment and take sone fresh air.

walid2578 · Sep 15, 2016

I listen to music

hype80 · Sep 15, 2016

would behaving slightly erratic every so often be frowned upon, then when u feel "edgy" or nervous" you could act erratic to cover your emotions?

Sakolik029 · Sep 15, 2016

Thank you all for the advice,you are helping many people to overcome their emotions.
