Of course, I feel very happy when I win at heads up. It's the highest point I can reach in poker. But I also always celebrate my other poker successes with restraint (such as hitting the prize zone or receiving bounties in tournaments with rewards for knocking out players). :)

Hello,
I feel best when I can say to myself: I played my best poker and stayed centered despite all the adversities. At first, I just played for the money, without any real idea of how to improve my game. That quickly led to failure...

Greetings

When you know you're playing an excellent tournament and making the right decisions, you say, wow, I'm 100% polished

Para mim, é blefar perfeitamente e mostrá-lo! Qual é o momento que lhe dá mais satisfação na mesa?
For me it's when I'm nuts and the villain from All In to bluff kkkkk

I think winning a tournament is always the best feeling. It can release a lot of endorphins.

For me, the best feeling is when I play live and I'm locked in- pay attention to the table and pretty much figure out my opponents and when I'm put in a tough spot- for example to call a river big bet(even for my entire stack), with just what it seems to be a marginal hand and the only thing we can beat is a bluff... making this hero calls and be right after gathering information for hours and doing things the 'old way' by using your intuition and stuff like 'this play makes no sense'... it was and still is the true essence of poker and why many of us love this game :) // using HUDs (or other poker software) and play GTO online is just making poker feel like a grind... don't get me wrong this tools are very useful for studying and improving our game, but poker should be more than just money, money, money...

The best feeling is when a perfect bluff works, when I reach the ITM, make the final table, and feel that I played well from start to finish.

I think it has to be winning a tournament with tons of different people in it getting a extremely high ROI

I think the most satisfying moment is when you win a tournament in first place. There's no better feeling than that.
