Is there any nightmare? Some unexpected river cards maybe? Unexpected needs during the game? I am pretty curious, what makes you feel affraid in this game.

I am afraid when my opponent has only a couple of outs, but there are still two streets ahead..

There are no nightmares for me in poker, only momentary upsets or setbacks as tomorrow is always another day! ;)

The only nightmare for me is not being able to see the cards The table being dominated and terrorized by someone with a stack that swallows us all. But with patience you can disfigure him 😀

Having two men, one to each side of me, getting into a really heated argument over something or another. My fear is that one will go at the other before I can finish my hand, and I'll be caught in the middle of it. I was actually in this situation once, and it is scary.

Seeing particular creatures on my table perhaps? This would explain then me making sure they would get kicked out ASAP ...

That usually works well enough in cardchat games :unsure:

Hello friend, the worst fear I have is not becoming a professional. I fight every day to improve my game and achieve this goal. I hope to achieve it. As for the cards, perhaps in a big tournament reaching the final table and being in heads up, you are winning the hand and you lose it on the river, although this usually happens a lot, I hope it doesn't happen in a tournament as important as the wsop.

When you go all-in preflop with a better pair, but your opponent hits a set :(

Sadly I see my worst nightmare almost every day....players limping to sitters.

You kinda have to admire their dedication, no matter how much their sharkscopes go down and to the right they are firmly committed to making sure every sitter gets limped to.

I don't have nightmares in general brother, almost neither in poker nor in life itself.
I play a lot of cash tables, and it could be said that a nightmare is when the supposed fish enters, playing only luck as if he were playing in the casino or slot machines.
But hey, the nightmare ends when luck and your ability accompanies you against it, and you duplicate yourself, that's where the beautiful dream begins.
I think there is no need to dramatize, it can happen that you have a hand almost won and on the river your opponent's game was played and your badbeat occurs and you are out of a tournament. And well, another tournament is played and that's it.
A hug and good Sunday:):):):)

Unexpected loss of connection ..... this is the worst case scenario for me.

If a player is afraid of losing money, his approach to the game completely changes. He's not trying to win anymore. He tries to lose as little as possible. And this affects all his decisions during the game. In situations where it is necessary to take risks, he will not do this, since the risk can lead to the loss of a large pot.

The bad times I hate in poker are when I'm short stack on the bubble and at another table there's an all in and a backdoor comes out for the player who was going to bust and comes back in the game.

A similar situation occurs at the final table, sometimes two or more players are short stack and come back into the game with incredible luck.

Losing the internet connection or the poker room software/server freezes and needs a restart. Our politician came up with this genius idea "cooling phase", where your forces to wait 5minutes before you can reconnte to the tables. Its super annoying when that happens close to ITM or your short handed and have to go all in with a decent hand. Suddenly all you can do is watch slowly bleeding out blinds and lose....:sick:

Well the first thing that comes to mind right off the bat is getting the chips in with a stone cold lock on the hand and the realization that you have been disconnected mid hand.... that's the worst😳, also hate being stuck on a table with someone who times out every hand, or just shoves every hand but that's pretty typical..
