When We're Emotional Do We Tend to Make Poor Decisions?

azgeda · Apr 6, 2021

When we’re emotional in poker, we tend to make poor decisions. Do you agree?

lauestla · Apr 6, 2021

Yes I totally agree. I personaly play faster in these situations and often don't choose the right move

For poker, emotions are pure evil! It is emotions that fuel tilt! It is because of emotions that players lose their heads!

PatriceM915 · Apr 6, 2021

Yes I agree and in Poker for me the emotion gets in the way of choosing the right action for that moment so I try to listen to a song to concentrate better

Absolutely emotions put one on tilt...so can fatigue and drinking.

gonzalo1 · Apr 6, 2021

I agree. If possible, avoid playing in those cases because it ends up being more harmful

navicula · Apr 6, 2021

Yes, I agree. Emotions make your game worse.

Thiagon · Apr 6, 2021

Certainly!!
The psychological when shaken influences negatively on our decisions.
However, who likes the game, and wants to have good results, needs to learn to deal with adverse situations.

100% agree, I tend to call light when I'm psst and normally spewing haha

nellorossi83 · Apr 6, 2021

Yes... agree... in bad days I try dont play... it ll be a worse day if I play

Emotions have effects on decision making. I do make a lot of mistakes when I cannot control my emotions, especially it's is very crucial when playing the final table.

It goes for anything, anger will lead you down the wrong path. Getting tilted and emotionally fed up with negative feelings only leads to a bad result. You need to stay Zen.

BOMDEBLEF · Apr 6, 2021

yes, anxiety and nervousness you have to learn to control,

lcid86 · Apr 6, 2021

Not always. I generally play real tight. Getting angry, or "on a roll", gets me to open my range and play more hands. Against certain player-styles that can work to my advantage. Emotions can help as long as you are aware that you are playing differently due to an outside stimulus.

Rockyfour · Apr 6, 2021

I never get emotional,

because I don't have any feelings.

619Leafs · Apr 6, 2021

I would agree with that statement. When experiencing a bad beat you feel cheated so you end up making a bad play out of frustration.

Steve Deeble · Apr 6, 2021

100% you need to try to manage once in this state and take a break or just sit out a few hands and relax.

gustav197poker · Apr 6, 2021

It depends on the emotion you experience. If the feeling that comes over you comes from a negative result, it is very likely that that consequent feeling is not an optimal state for your game. On the contrary, if you have obtained an excellent result, it is very likely that you will be invaded by positive thoughts for your game. Anyway, you should forget about them in the short term (the results). Instead, self criticism will always be an important factor in balancing emotions and to recognize the areas that need the most work outside of the tables.
Greetings.

Yes, totally agree with you. Everyone says you shouldn’t play poker when you’re feeling sad or are stressed.

INISHTE · Jun 30, 2021

Strongly agree.

And I have checked it with me, I am very excited, although I am learning to control it, thanks to Poker.

Vivaly · Jun 30, 2021

When you play poker, you can't be sad, angry, and funny. You just have to play with the "pokerface" constantly. Any emotions, even positive ones, impair our game.

jesusali1 · Jun 30, 2021

At the moment of losing concentration and following the emotions at the poker table, is where our rival or opponent wins the game because the decision making at that time is much more difficult and you have to make bad decisions.

GARCIA PABLO DANIEL · Jun 30, 2021

hello

if I agree that is so .. you have to know how to control emotions! more in this game where the competition is increasingly demanding !!! self-control is essential greetings!

Luvepoker · Jun 30, 2021

Absolutely we make more errors when we let emotions control out play. What makes great poker players better than most is they dont let emotions control there game.

danoscar · Jun 30, 2021

Hello. Itry to control myself after a bad beat. I usually work my sanity back and continue. But sometimes...I don't .
