I think my biggest fear is sitting at a table and not feeling competitive. You know that moment when you start wondering if you actually belong there? It’s the worst feeling for a professional, not about losing chips, but losing confidence in your edge.

This 110% for me as well. Because I've always been a competitive guy in pretty much everything I've done and have gotten pretty good in most things I've done that really interest me and I have had a passion for. While losing the chips and money hurts it's much worse not feeling competitive. Even if I am just a rec/hobby player.....when I show up I show up to be competitive and put up a fight no matter how high the stakes/buy-in might be.
Cheers!!!
Hmm how should is say that. Its not a fear anymore, but i struggle a lot staying focused. I try to improve focus with techniques like taking breaks, practicing mindfulness, and creating a mental anchor. Additionally, i prepare my body and mind by staying hydrated, eating light, and avoiding distractions before and during play. But yeah, it takes a lot of practice and patience.
My biggest fear is when I have AA, I build a big pot pre-flop, hit the flop and turn, and then a possible project appears on the river.
It's a bad feeling, because you did everything right and yet you could lose everything in the end.
