Is póker as stressful a game as it seems?

Gian Totaro · Feb 14, 2023

For me, this vision is subjective. In general, poker is not as stressful as some people may think. But hey, it depends on each one, you have to be ready for everything that happens.

If it wouldnt be stressful at all then clearly it would be boring as hell ...

Poker can be stressful depending on the player, stakes, and environment

puzzlefish · Feb 14, 2023

I think a lot of this has to do with what you put on the line. If you're risking money that you maybe shouldn't be risking, then it can feel pretty stressful. If you don't care about the money, maybe another stressor comes from unreasonable expectations of winning in the sense that your ego is on the line. The game itself isn't stressful.

Dude! This You isn't seems! Poker is really stressful Game! I only can to confirm this! That's all!

I think the more you play the less "stressful" it gets.

June4Spades · Feb 14, 2023

Yes, very streessfull, as it requires as lot of patience. If you are a yogi, you might see it as a kind of math meditation, but I don't.

Poker is stressful only if you let it be

Put more play into the game and the result will be less stressful

Alex Sentsov · Feb 14, 2023

Poker is a nervous game, but good results make up for everything)))

If you play free tournaments, then over time, stress leaves you imperceptibly.

elchonga · Feb 14, 2023

absolutely
if you are not prepared it breaks your mind

The higher your skill over your opponents, the less stress and more fun.

wavetune · Feb 14, 2023

everything is relative, if we consider poker as a kind of salary supplement, then there is no easy money in life, it's either nervous work or physical labor

Andres AT · Feb 14, 2023

If it's super stressful; even more so when you come from losing a good pot with excellent cards and the next hands, nothing good comes to you and you're looking for a way to get into the action but at a disadvantage and that stresses you out and hurts you in the long run... Patience and distraction outside the game, I think is the main thing to attack that stress.

airxlns · Feb 14, 2023

If you have the right approach it shouldn't be. I mean learn the game, develop a strategy, change your strategy when it doesn't work anymore and manage your BR... And learn from your mistakes... Do all these and the stress will go away.

Chabita03 · Feb 14, 2023

It always is but it`s a different kind of stress.

Chebchoub · Feb 14, 2023

Hi

It is not stressful, but when bad luck will accompany you for a long time, you will feel angry and bored, and you will say I will stop playing, but if you are an old player and a lover of poker, you can only stop for a few days until you regain your focus and calmness.

agree.

odonob · Feb 14, 2023

Yep it can be stressful when there are all your chips on he line. Don’t play with money you can’t afford.

JappsPK · Feb 14, 2023

Of course poker can be stressfull, specially when you lose a "winning hand". Is very important to keep your emotions in line, refresh your head sometimes, then start playing again.

YLAN · Feb 14, 2023

Absolutely stressful when you cannot get your game going just like anything else. Re- think strategy and keep improving skills to get back on the right track.

Gallarado777 · Feb 15, 2023

if you're at a high level of play, I think tournaments don't put any pressure if you're not new or play high limits although you used to play small limits then there will be stress and anxiety

Lipki3 · Feb 15, 2023

Undoubtedly. To be a successful player, you must definitely work on the mental component of the game.

GERSteven · Feb 15, 2023

Poker is not stressful for me ! but some players can much stress you out ! i just want to have fun playing poker

Mauricio Perrotta · Feb 15, 2023

Yes, it's stressful. It all depends on what type of poker you want to play, if it's social there's no need to stress so much, at least I think so, now if you want to be professional that's another level
