What are you afraid of playing poker?

gravii2011 · Jul 26, 2022

I am very afraid to play when I start to miss and my game slowly turns to tilt. It's scary not to stop in time, or when the lights turn off when you're almost at the final table (it happened once). What are you afraid of when you're playing?

Not sure I understand your question about being afraid. What is there to be afraid of?

I think even experienced players are afraid of something. My biggest fear is bad beat in front of the prize zone. 😭

There is nothing better than playing poker in the darkness so who needs lights anyway

climbing up the stakes is scary, simply because downswings are scary, and the higher up you get the bigger the downswings become.

I would be afraid that my bankroll would decrease sharply.

I don’t see much point in being afraid of bad beats when playing poker, because from time to time they still happen, I’m more afraid of making the wrong decision, and this is much more important than when you did everything right but you were unlucky !!!

Nothing. I try to play my game, not to risk to much and to make my chips grow. If not...it's o.k.. Next time will be better.

I'm afraid the times that I know I should be sleeping but still register for one more game.

I'm not afraid of anything playing poker, I just get angry when I lose to a nine and a ten with a draw hand of aces and play further, the anger goes away

A little fear of a big reraise after you open with a decent but not monster hand - hate being pushed around too much but calling off into a hand that does dominate you just is so deflating...decisions, decisions!

ikescherer · Jul 26, 2022

Im scared of losing all my bankroll

pariurisportive88 · Jul 26, 2022

fear is not good in poker my friend .

85champ07 · Jul 26, 2022

There are two things that I am afraid of at the poker table. While it is not traditional fear it is often seen as self doubt. One is going out on the bubble, such as when I have pocket aces and I don't want to fold them. But I don't want to risk my tournament life on it either. My second thing would be when I'm just unsure about my monster hand. I don't always play nitty, but when I do I really hope to have a good set of community cards to back me. Hate having high card as I am usually unsure and hate to commit to my doubt.

BrunoFabri01 · Jul 26, 2022

my fear is falling out of the tournament with only 1 person left to enter the prize pool

Afraid of what might happen if you don't act properly in certain situations, ie. bubble play, holding big pocket pair etc. Pick out those situations that make you uncomfortable & study them so you have a plan when they arise. You do need to understand that you have no control over the deal of the cards & even the optimal play in a given situation can have negative results. Nothing to be afraid of though.

Fear? On the contrary, playing poker has to be fun, something that fills you with happiness. I think that should be the essence of all sport.

elchonga · Jul 26, 2022

I think if you're scared of something about poker you shouldn't play because it's against your game

MrPokerVerse · Aug 2, 2022

No fear here, if there is a mistake on my end, that is about it. Pretty anal and critical about going over my hands. Less of a fear than it is a learning experience.

arshuns · Aug 2, 2022

If you play poker right, there's nothing to be afraid of. You have to enjoy the game and believe in the best.

Alex Okhr · Aug 2, 2022

In poker i ussually afraid recive AA and to lose all my chips.

pltelles · Aug 2, 2022

fear of elimination, but I see that if you don't risk it, you will also be eliminated. so it's face the game without fear.

I fear playing Pocket Jacks they are the worst

okeedokalee · Aug 2, 2022

Fear is a negative element. Eliminate it from your thinking. Concentrate on making the correct decisions.
If the result for you is a loss, work out why, and what the correct decision should have been. Record that bad decision and how you are going to fix it. Then use this information in your future games.
