What's the Best Feeling in Poker?

[margmilo44]

making the flush on the river and then crushing the aggro players. by far the best!!

For me, it's pulling off a perfect bluff and showing it! What's the one moment that gives you the most satisfaction at the table?

All in with AA

At the start of a tournament, I have sometimes won a good amount of chips, that gives me hope of going far in a tournament and winning some money

The situation you describe is very good. But I think discovering the opponent's bluff is even more rewarding.

Winning 1st place (especially in an MTT tournament) has to be the best feeling, but if you meant more on a micro-scale, then it's probably getting paid when you have the nuts or a bluff gets through. In both cases, you win by a hand well played. Sometimes I'll win a hand and it doesn't feel great because I know I sucked out, or cracked Aces, or whatever else, so it's really more about playing well and getting results than it is about the win per se.

For me is entering in the money! Amazing! Or winning again a Pro!

When I am close to the FT feels good , when I am at the FR it's better, if the payouts are big then it feels awesome . Unfortunately the awesome feeling doesn't come as often as it should be to keep the fun going .

For me it’s cashing, getting into the money at a tough big MTT with lots of people is the best feeling. Then to see how far I can go once I get ITM.

Cash Out

At the poker table, the only thing that makes me happy is winning at any cost.

When you have the nuts and your opponent goes all in.

For me, the best feeling in poker has always been making the right play, regardless of the outcome. I love knowing the reasons behind my opponent's bet, regardless of the size, I love calling bluffs, I love dominating the field. Unfortunately, due to my emotional state, this is becoming less and less the case with each passing week, and my game devolves into either "monkey tilt" or "solitaire" instead of playing real poker.

The game itself makes sense to win or lose... Therefore, winning and the gaming situations that make it up determine the state of sensations that we are striving for)))

I think one of the best feelings is catching someone in their bluff after reading them like a book. That little rush when your gut tells you, “this guy’s full of it,” and you make the call—it’s just pure satisfaction. Doesn’t even matter if the pot isn’t huge, it’s the validation that your instincts were right!!

 

[dzsire]

Some people want their bluff to pay off and win against much better players, while others want a big tournament win (although both can go hand in hand, because the former may be needed for the final victory). The common point is winning, I think everyone plays mainly for the thrill of winning.

 

[moraeskvmi]

Knowing that you are making the right decisions and constantly improving in your game.

 

[Stringy]

winging it with your whole stack deep into a tourney with a weak hand and winning on the river

The question is: what’s the best feeling in poker?
Usually, when someone asks a poker-related question, the answer includes the word “it depends.”
But not this time.
Without a doubt, the best feeling in poker is taking down a huge tournament, with a massive field and a big payout.
There’s simply no better feeling than that.

when my pocket pair survive a donk call

 

[ms_attack]

The best feeling for me is to win a tournament. It's a really nice feeling and I'm usually very upset afterwards. The higher the payout, the higher the pulse or the tingling in the stomach.

When you win a tournament...

 

[roberto51]

When you feel like you're in a losing situation, you get out of it and into the payoff zone.

 

[Fallenglory]

Reaching a final table in a tournament, especially on GG the felt turns purple and you get to do a seat selection. Really cool feature.

 

[alucaa]

I would say winning a big pot by shamelessly bluffing, with nothing, just reading your opponent. It's very rewarding hahahaha.

 

[Roller]

Simply the Rush of the Win!
