How to lose the fear of going all in How to lose the fear of going all in

Guys, I have been through something very strange that I'm sure that is very compromising my ROI: I'm afraid to shove SBvsBB even though the situation is + $ ev according to ICM calculators!

You know when that situation arrives that you know you have to shove any2 cards, but even then u dont shoves and misses an important spot?
I'm trying to understand what is happening and realized that every time I get in this situation I remember situations I did that and took bad ... Did you know guys playing sng, how did they get rid of that fear and goes all in until t2o when he arrives in the gap left over bubble and have only u and villain ...

A situation that happened was just below bubble of a 18 man sng, I know I have to put pressure, but the guy paid me off nash range and gives me a good sliced. After that hand I was ultra tight and let the blinds take me afraid to shove again and take another one of these ... Help!

    This doesn't belong here. Maybe in the Psychology Section
