I guess many people are afraid of losing money, but I think that money and poker are very closely related

Poker can be intimidating, especially for beginners who fear making mistakes or losing money. However, fear is just part of the learning process—every great player has faced it at some point. The key is to focus on strategy, manage your bankroll wisely, and embrace the challenge. The more you play, the more confidence you’ll gain!

I think it's normal to be afraid to play some hands, especially in important tournaments.

There should be no reason to fear if you play poker with money that you can afford to lose and not affect your paying the bills or your family life. Being nervous around experienced players at a live casino? Sure, but you get over it quickly by focusing on your own play.

I have been here many years and never lost a dime o_O
I take that back we used to play a last-longest bet that I lost most times :oops:
but yes the more money you stand to lose the greater the fear. ( unless rich or dumb)

Once a friend of mine told me "The one who is afraid of losing loses". And this is really true, I have noticed this many times in my own experience. There is also such an expression "If a person is afraid of something, then it will definitely happen to him". If a player plays poker or some other game, be it for money or something else, then in no case should he be afraid. Of course, poker and money are closely related, if we are talking about playing for real money, so you should never play with the money that, if lost, will cause problems for a person. You need to play with the money that a person can easily spend and forget about, and the next day wake up in a good mood and continue living. In order not to create problems for yourself, you need to approach each decision carefully and thoughtfully, and in no case follow your emotions.

Those who do not follow bankroll management are afraid of losing money. I consider players who do not follow bankroll management to be bingo players for whom luck will always be a decisive factor.

Money will always be too little for a man - look at Donald Trump, he still doesn't have enough

Losing is the first step to winning)
we lose something every second, for example we lose a small part of our life every second

some cannot accept it and therefore panic all the time
the solution to this problem is Jesus Christ
