I am not afraid of my opponents! If I'm afraid of something, I try to stay away from that thing, which is not the case here!

Brazilians and Russians seem to me the most unfit to play this game, they don't play aggressively, they play stupidly.

I think a better word is difficult to play.

HeadsUp is much easier even out of position but multiway out of position is difficult.

Hello. I don't fear anyone. But when I start playing at a table I try to study the rivals. I see if they are more passive or aggressive. but I have had to lose against fishes who go all in with 7-2 off and I lost with AA. There are players who are not interested in losing those I'm afraid of. Just a little

I am afraid of the kids who took the time to figure out how to cheat with real time solvers.

When I sit down at a poker table in a tournament, I am not afraid of anyone, I just respect the players, no matter how they play.

I don't like aggressive players who don't let you look at the flop

If you play regularly at certain limits you see a lot of horses of different poker-schools. There are plenty of these, different in scale. I doubt they don't share databases among players, whether directly or as players initiative, at least vs regs. It's tough to play against those.

You do not need to be afraid of anyone in the game. Otherwise, the opponent will notice this and will press the whole game, increasing the stakes. In the end, you lose. But caution does not hurt.

I'm only afraid of extremely lucky players at the table who, no matter what they do or how badly they play, always end up winning the hand.

I wouldn't say the term would be "afraid". But there are times when it does feel very uncomfortable to play against a certain person, either because they play better than you, because their style is very annoying for yours, or because they know you very well. I think the cause can be very varied, but well, measures can always be taken according to the problem you have.

We all love poker and that's why we come here to get a portion of pleasure. However, the game does not always work out as we would like. And all because the opponent has once again outplayed you.
I'm not afraid of anyone at all. But I respect all the players! In general, my goal in every tournament is to win. Yes, in some tournaments with a good money guarantee my minimum goal is to get into the prize zone, but globally it is to win, of course. So players are just obstacles for me on my way to the money. :ninja:

There is no point in being afraid, fear only worsens our chances. I really like aggressive opponents, they are the most comfortable for me. And I am wary of patient players, they are the most dangerous for me.

I'm not afraid of any player but what bothers me is facing a sick person who pays with garbage and beats you
I agree, such players are simply annoying, they ruin the game in tournaments, they themselves do not earn anything and interfere with others.

I like the kind of challenge that poker represents. I am willing to face any opponent, knowing that fear would be the beginning of the end and that every situation is a good opportunity for me to benefit from and progress.

We must be careful of both regular and professional players, because a sad surprise may come from both. Instead, I will make sure to play strong hands in the appropriate position on the table.

PS
However, fear is also recognized to be on the frontier of wisdom, and to learn in a lasting way.

I afraid only those crazy once whose raise every hand and play like they always have some pretty good hand. It's hard to find out what they really have. If they're bluffing or have some good hand exactly when i play a hand.

But money can also become a obstacle to winning …

To clarify my point:
Yes, they ´probably know’ that when the desire to make money drops down to emotion, lost of things can happen, even to the best…
Kind regards
