How do you feel when playing poker?

I'm asking this because I’ve noticed that poker brings out different emotions in different people, from excitement and adrenaline to stress or deep focus. I feel a mix of tension and thrill, especially during high-stakes moments. I'm curious to hear how others experience the game, both emotionally and mentally.

Interesting that someone is interested in such a thing. Too bad I can't contribute to the conversation with my personal experiences because I don't play poker. But I'd be glad if someone would join you and tell you how he's doing.🙂

Good day, my goal is to take money from the casino, not other people ... so I do not engage in poker much. I am good with statistics (judging hands), but I am terrible at reading people which is made worse by poker being a bluffing game. When I play poker, I tend to play like a NIT (only strong hands) ... so I do not lose much money, but observant players will notice and not let me win much either.

When I play any casino game, poker included, I remind myself to relax and enjoy the game ... but if things are not going well, my analytical mind takes over and I get deeply focused ... I am not rude to others, but a cold formality might come out as I become so wrapped up in my own thoughts.

For me, the stress comes before entering the casino ... I know where I am going and I will be taking a risk. Once I am there, it becomes more enjoyable.

Interesting question.
