high stakes

[hitmeup]

i just cant understand how some people who i have watched from here play highstakes in poker rooms. i played a $99 pot just now (which i won) and i was so nervous.. heart was pounding etc etc. how do you keep your concentration when all your brain is saying is... your about to lose.

Im with ya but the ones who can afford it treat it no differently then a .02 .04 cent cash game. never play with scared money!!

Thats exactly why I am not playing cash game too much : D In tournaments I can fix it somehow, but in cashgame you are playing with money ALL THE TIME and every hand and you dont wanna fcking lose it DD

good advice from abwil2 Never play pojer with scared money.

It sounds like your playing above your BR. Especially if that's the only table you are playing. Just sayin'...

I have to agree with some other posts about BR management. I never let a BI = more than 5% of my BR. Therefore I never have enough on the line to really make me nervous.

That is what is addictive about Poker...the rush.

tbh i say things to myself to keep my nerves calm..but sht can be nerve racking..like me being in a 400 pot got a boat and the guy flops a bigger boat..almost broke my pc after that lost
