Anyone ever go into suspense mode after putting in that big re-raise/3-bet with anything but the nuts?

What I mean is, usually when im playing a 3/4-bet pot and I just totally missed with AK/AQ, im putting out a little c-bet/probe bet and during that time when were waiting for the opponent to fold/call/raise my heart rate goes way up..im literally covering up my pokerscreen with my web browser hoping when I return that I have won the pot! lol..

Anyone experiencing close to this?

I almost never get nervous online, but live I'm a wreck. Especially shortly after sitting down, sometimes I wonder if I'm gonna pass out or something. After an hour or so my nerves calm down, but at first, its all bad. Buffing is the worse, although I make myself do it anyway if I feel I can take the pot. Its almost like the whole room can hear your heart beating.

heh I know what you mean. When I play live at my local casino Im usually drinking an iced mocha while playing and the first few minutes im literally shaking..probably because im cold and nervous so im sure people can see me shaking.

Nope, I do it all the time with junk against someone that steals alot. They are going to fold usually, and when they dont I am after the flop if they don't reraise. :)

I am exactly the same. For whatever reason though I have no problem making the continuation bet in person. I usually just look at the people irl, but online I feel like I am betting my money in the dark and they all know it.
