Dieing suddenly while holding a royal flush
Good news for you is that both of those are remarkably low probability events lol

Not so sure about that - I figure just about everyone has a good chance of keeling over at some point, and the more I play poker the better chances of getting that royal flush again! I hit one not long ago .. posted a screenshot here somewhere when it happened. Cheers

My biggest fear right now: Shot-taking with bad BRM and going busto again.

Last week I was playing $0.50 Spins with $1 bankroll. Busted 5 sessions in a row chasing losses.

Then I read Aleksandr1991's 100 buy-in rule here on CardsChat. Changed everything.

Yesterday I cashed my first freeroll: 40/2094 for $0.71 after 2h 21m. Followed Kerasuss28's advice to "stay 2+ hours" instead of punting first 15min.

Now I have $1.21 and I'm terrified of clicking a $0.25 Spin without 20 buy-ins lol.

So my fear isn't bad beats anymore. It's me. Discipline is scarier than variance.

@bremp555 @LiviuRo123 What's your advice for beating the "just one shot" demon? You guys been through micro stakes hell too?

We are all afraid of something, but unfortunately, fear at the poker table often leads to a loss.
