Fear was useful for caveman but in society today we could live with out fear and just use common sense.

And will science ever be able to stop a human emotion?

Common sense probably arose from fear.

And if you eliminate fear from babies, that is the end of humanity as they won't learn common sense and will perish.

I believe science has already taken away emotions through drugs.

What does this have to do with poker psychology?

Try to lay off the drugs guys

I don't do any drugs other than prescription or OTC.

It’s such an abstract nonsensical conversation

I agree, but that doesn't mean any party is using drugs.

Nonsense.

Ok so you don't have fear when playing poker? And we're does it say psychology and poker?

Life is all about fear and it what stops people being happy 99% of the time.

Why do babies need common sense? Do think they use common sense when they will eat anything? It's parents job keep them save until they have common sense.

Fear is not important and people would be fine without it as common sense is all that is needed today age.

What have we got to fear in today's society? There is no big predators that we need to keep are wits about us.

Imagine a world without fear , it would be amazing. Maybe there would be more crime due to having no fear but it would be true freedom and would make it worth it.

To answer your second question, the complete title of this thread is Psychology Discussions of psychology as applied to poker and other gambling games.

This is why I ask what your thread has to do with poker.

Freezing is very bad today but had benefits when we lived in the forest and saw a dangerous animal because stillness is harder to detect than a movement. Also fear causes our nervous systems to become v active which may lead to other behaviors(call them tells).

Likewise if fear causes an adrenaline dump one can be unable to respond to a threat. It seems that running is about the only thing that an adrenaline dump might help as it causes tunnel vision and a decline in fine motor skills.

BTW, babies don't actually eat anything, I think they mouth everything to see if it's edible so if it tastes sweet, umami, minerally, etc they may swallow. This is a survival instinct to consume food.

Baby will eat anything given the chance that's why they need 24hr care

It would be something to see if science could take away a emotion like fear and see how a life without the ability to fear would either thrive or be a psychopath.

All they need is some false teeth which they could easily steal from gran when she is asleep . Ask there baby friends who have a dentist as a dad to refit to baby size.

Then when there parents bare asleep sneak out there cot and raid the fridge.

That's why they need 24hr care.

What is the question?
How to not be scared while playing poker?
Practice bankroll management until you reach the amount of buy ins you stop having fear of losing 1 buy in.
May be 25 for some, may be 150 for others.
Eventually the stakes feel irrelevant.

Or is this non poker psychology related.

I think someone needs 24 hour care and it isn't the babies.

Play poker live do you not fear people will like you or that the girl at the table will pick you like the best Pokémon at the table?

Fear is in every second of are lives and is what stops people going out of being happy.

All science has been able to do is give the world a piece of paper to take to a chemist to pick up a drug that makes you addicted to pills.

Only thing a doctor should be able to give a person is Budda learning, but they would not get you addicted for life and payment every month.

Government are worst drug dealers ever and the masses just hate on people who self medication because people are full of hate and love to put people down who don't fit in.

Hi test . See if works

Check works

My thread will be getting work done between 12am and 12.01 am sorry any inconvenience.

No wonder.

I tried posting then, but nothing.

I don’t know if it’s drugs you’re taking or drugs you need to be taking, but please do something

Given his mention of doctors and monthly payment, I am thinking he saw a psych doctor who prescribed meds and monthly counseling. The poster felt it a financial/time burden and is off his meds.

Sorry I will pm you next time so you don't miss out.

Take it easy and love the game.

Fear and other emotions might be 100 times more powerful when it comes to determining behavior than is rationality, regardless of what we may like to think. So, fear might prevent us from risking our retirement money on a pipe dream while rationality wouldn't, so fear might be very good for us. There might be 5% of us who are unusually rational and we can all pretend we're in that group.
