Poker Players Feelings

[Susilo]

How can playing poker be so much fun but also stressful at the same time?

It doesn’t have to be stressful, just play and have fun!

It's a pretty good outlet if you like trolling people

It's the adrenaline, fight or flight, kicking in every hand where the outcome isn't guaranteed. Which is pretty much EVERY hand.

All you can do is try to play the best. You have no control over your results. Even aces get cracked occasionally (in all in pre flop situations). You have to be mentally strong to ignore the downswings.

I don't personally find it that stressful. I use it to relax on an evening. I find life itself far more stressful.
