Tiltmode1987 · Feb 22, 2022

The stress really geta to me too. It gets hard to sleep and sometimes i dont eat. Does anyone have any tips for dealing with the stress that comes with poker?

I wouldn’t say that I feel stress during the game, it’s probably more that the wrong decision-making is pressing. If this happens. I just close the client and go outside to somehow distract myself.

Your stress is primarily due to the lack of a bankroll management system. If you are disciplined about the game and strictly adhere to spending limits, you will never be stressed or disappointed, instead, poker will bring you only joy and positive emotions.

Try to answer the question to yourself: Why do I enjoy playing poker? Be honest to yourself and think about it when you start feeling stressed. Good luck

I have to do therapy because of this game that has saturated me a lot these last few months, I have an anxiety crisis because of these games, so I decided to take a break from this game so it doesn't happen!

for me i think stress in caused by the wrong decision making

Stress exists in all players except that some do not realize that they are stressed, I am talking about tournaments for more money ...

I do not take a lot of money into the game and I do not play with my own money at all. I do not have a great desire to win big money. I look at things from a real point of view and not from dreams. It is necessary to approach poker not as the main profitable business, but as a possible casual income. I certainly grieve the losses but do not take them seriously.

Unfortunately, poker and stress are inseparable)))

A combination of experience (knowing bad beats will occur) and non-poker related growth (reading philosophy/psychology) will cure this.

If you having stress during the game when you play it’s serious everyone knows that stress is the worst think I don’t have stress but sometimes have excitedly feeling if this happens alot I stop playing either but especially if you have stress time to break and go for a walk smoke cigarettes 🚬

When bad beats happens, you have to stop a little, breath, try to relax, concentrate and keep focus on the game.
It's the best way to avoid tilt.

To cope with stress, you need to reduce the number of game days and the number of tables at a time, you also need to be outdoors more often and wash your face with cool water.

I deal with stress with a bottle of brandy, it helps me relax

Loosing is part of the game….even when you are playing your best level the variance can catch and hurt you…..
focus on what you can control...these are your choices...if you make bad choices you can get angry and try to do better...if you make good ones and still lose you just have to accept.... everyone does quarrel with fate (the variance).... but it doesn't help in the end....

Workout with weights helps me

Poker is not my real job. That is where my stress is. The only stress I feel with poker is when I am playing a tournament and am doing really well and I have been sitting there for 6 hours. Then my spouse starts complaining at me that we have somewhere to go or I need to help her with something that might take 5 or 10 minutes. That's when the stress kicks in.

I'm taking a break for a couple of weeks....

To reduce stress - you need to risk smaller amounts. The amounts should be such that they mean nothing to you.

- Don't play poker.

- If you play on your own, then follow the rules of the bankroll.

- Play freerolls and reinvest.

you don't have to stress when you play poker, however it is just a game

and should be treated as such

odonob · Feb 23, 2022

The more you play (and lose mostly) the more you will become accepting of losses. Eventually you get a thick skin. Water off a Duck’s back.

From what you say, you have self-control problems, study and apply some exercises.
It usually works!

Try to do sports regularly, such as running or swimming, and take more walks in the fresh air. I'm sure this will help you cope with stress.

The tip for dealing with stress in poker is to win and win money, because everyone who loses money gets very stressed. In the game of poker it's no different, if you win, you're happy, if you lose, you're stressed. If stress is disturbing your peace and mental health, it's best to stop playing poker.
