I am happy for you mate that you found poker to help you with stress and help you calm down , for there is the other way around as there is no way I won't get trough 50+ coolers in a day ( ok maybe less but it actually feels more :D)but that's
ok for me cause I am addicted to stress and to lose .
I guess I am one of those guys that chase that feel.

Of course it's a stressful game. The question is, how do you react? Ice head no problem, dismantled dosing errors and go on, or take a break. Harder emotional people, with hot blood, they can really break the keyboard or pc) The longer you play poker, the easier it is to cope with stress, we can say that poker - stress resistance trainer.

Look to first left up table with 55:

Its Stressful and most things you care about. when you play your best and put in work off the table and don't the results you can hang your hat on, this gonna end up being stressful! I like playing live in a smaller game than I normally do. Man that's fun. Sunday full grind and bubbling FT's and Money. VERY STRESSFULL

Successful poker performance always brings positive emotions and attitude! The main thing is that the minus segments of the game do not affect your mood!

Please report back when "poker the stress killer" becomes poker the stress enabler. At some point it will.

I play poker for about one year. Usually, because of my erroneous decisions, poker brings me disappointment and stress. But I really love this game. I will continue to play and improve my skills. I am confident that with the acquisition of experience, stress and frustration will disappear.

I hope someday to reach that level of peace, at the moment there are moments in which I stress and others in which I accept the variance as it is. It all depends on what good or bad day is really having

It should be noted that stress in poker is inevitable. And it makes no sense to run away from him, because you will not run anywhere. The only thing you can do with it is to control it and also keep it in check. The easiest way to learn to control your emotions and stress in those moments when you are in a comfort zone.

I would say this is something for me to strive towards as I find the game to be a bit stressful to say the least. Well Done!

I find the opposite of you friend, when I play poker, it hits me with an anxiety and it leads me to stress.

When I started poker I could lose to multiple bad beats from someone who donked me and I would stress it out, feeling sick in my stomach and anger for the rest of the day. Now, that I know the poker ecosystem better, I am fine. I just play the next tourney, no bad feelings at all. I dont get angry at all that my aces cracked by J2o. I feel glad knowing that there are stupid enough people to call all of their stacks with J2o. Cause I've seen poker is a marathon and not a sprint.

Also many times I would get tilted and stressed but really it was my fault cause I wasnt understanding the game properly, having bad selection of hands, seeing a lot of flops and stupid mistakes all beginners do. When you get better at your game, you play more comfortable and less stressed.

Ps. Although having to decide whether to call all your stack with the second nut flush when the board is paired is always a stressful one. :rolleyes:

Somewhat agree with you. I also had problems at the beginning of my career in poker, but this time it came to my own and now I'm not nervous at all and the stress is gone. He even loves me now when I play, and I play him so relaxed that I'm overwhelmed by everything. Everything is fine and poker can relax. But I also think that all the way to the person, we are not all the same, maybe someone is upset. I agree with you, good theme, greeting!:ciao:

Set low expectations in poker

Setting high expectations in poker equals more stress. The less expectations you have in poker equals less stress. :hahaha:
