It can be stressful, but it can also be a great stress reliever in your life. It's a break from everything else going on and you really need to focus on the game and shut out everything else, which can be a very good thing. Like meditation, I guess. Poker is meditation for people who can't meditate. 🙂
Lots of great points here.
I get stressed out if I am playing too many tables, even freerolls.
I'm trying to wean myself off of playing every darn freeroll I can find and just focus on one good game at a time.
On the contrary, I still get an endorphin rush when I win a good hand, or the big rush, a tournament.
At most I play micro stakes, but occasionally get into some of the big money games thanks to freerolls tickets, etc.
They don't really stress me out , but more kind of psych me out, lol .

Stress and poker ... It depends.
Like most games, poker is fun, it's interesting, it's competitive, it's an amazing game. But stress begins when we have goals, when we try to earn money, when we professionalize the game, when it becomes a job, it is at that moment that stress appears.
But when we have a passion for poker and balance it in our lives, the situation changes, and the stress disappears.

Depends on how many hands you are playing and how much you get into your own head, I guess. There are going to be bad beats, but a few of those in 10k hands is different than if you only have played 100 hands in your life. Situations in poker seem less stressful if you stop considering a single hand in a vacuum and look over the long term.
