Stress caused by poker

[tourpro99]

Unless you earn a living at something, if it causes stress to the point where it is not fun---don't do it!

Stress is inevitable while playing poker as it has high element of variance and downswings can be daunting. Adequate bankroll management and responsible gambling should help manage stress better.

sometimes you lose hand after hand
close one tournament after another
i don't know what to do at such moments
except to stop the game

Stress is just a man made word really but its a dangerous one. You gotta take a chill if its raising yr 💓beat and relax its only a game. And my job is to create as much havoc on you as possible to get in yr head which means I can probably get yr chips. Im a beast and is hungry so any edge i can get over you is beneficial to me and mind games and looks/appearances i think help. And Not being able to show how happy/sad som1 is is a bonus because nobody can read there reactions. Good luck.

After some stressful session I go and take a walk or so

who has not had a very bad day at the game of poker. Stress is a feeling that can be caused by poker? and if this is how to cope.

Sometimes I may feel a little frustrated with the outcome of certain hands, but since I've started playing with a 300:1 stake to buy in ratio stress has become a thing of the past. Haven't felt it for years.
