Feel the fear and do it anyway,the worst than can happen is that you learn and become a better player.

Play within your bankroll limits then you shouldn't be scared to play

Fear is synonymous with certain fall. you shouldn't be afraid, because it's not worth it.
You play one hand, but after it the next and the next will come. Fear and nervousness always lead to fail.

I would say that is a personal bankroll issue...I dont remember last time i felt it...trepidation maybe knowing that is only one winner for a tournament....If playing outside of comfort level this can cause those things...but again that is your bankroll....I get disgust for about 2 seconds maybe when lose not fear....Disgust if lose even with worst hand lol....Like why not give me that one? etc... lol....but ive played a lot of hands over the years and done well overall and do not play with money i care about at all....so makes its easy....but i remember playing when had to make for rent ohh was sick that was 17 or so years ago I believe.....for six months....then I kept getting what needed each month....i stayed ok vs a group of pros proved myself at levels i was playing after that not many doubts...knew I could play hold own....was gonna have times when couldnt win much and times when could and need to capitalize on those times when could....so changed at that time now i go for a lot more wins over worrying about being at min win etc...my comfort says to do it the other way step by step getting to certain area's each tournament before making moves.....this is harder but maybe id do better....but again i get that loss? for like 2 seconds i move on is a next game a next day whatever

Identify the fear---if it is because you are unsure when you should be raising then study study study.

There's a balance to be had here. If you mean you just can't pull the trigger on a big river bet when you are liekly winning.....then this really needs to be worked through and you have to try to make the best play at the best time......if you are worried about triple barrel bluffing, then maybe you actually need to change your overall strategy in the micros. bluff way way less, so you don't get in these silly spots on the river.

Another example where you likely don't want to keep bluffing is when playing combo draws aggressively and they miss.....You have tp accept that the villain has been calling you down with a made hand and move on

I don't think you should ever be scared playing poker,

scared money is dead money, raise em up if you think you should,

win, lose, or draw at least you learned something👍

You won't feel afraid if you play only with the money you can afford to spend. In other words, if you have bankroll management, then you have nothing to fear
So, do you have bankroll management?
