hi,
I'm working on my heart beat rate since one month while playing poker.
I have a tool to mesure it that I stole to my grand mother (she never uses it anyway). I'm doing this because I hate having my heart racing when playing a hand, I find it very stupid especially since I play micro stakes to rebuild my br atm.
One month ago when I first tried I peaked at 170 bpm during the session with an average of 85bpm.
Now I still peak at ~170bpm during big hands but my average is ~75bpm so I've made some improvement.
My average while not playing and resting is ~60bpm.
Anyway, the point of this thread is:
Do you have any advices/tricks to maintain a decent beat rate while playing? And especially during big hands?
Also do you, professionnal players, work on it too or am I the only one to care about my heart bpm?
notice that I'm not talking about tilt or anger management. I still feel shitty sometimes of course after a bad session but it only last about fifteen minutes so I'm not talking about that.

the only time my heart beats faster is when I get a boner from holding the nuts and someone shoves into me |
|
I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time | |

just need to keep playing within your limits so you don't give a shit.
so basically either:
1) play 1 c 2 c OR
2) keep playing big pots till you get numb to it. |

Plays poker - heart is racing.
Steal medical equipment from grandmother - couldn't give a fuck.

Why is your heart beating faster while playing poker such a bad thing again? |

I'd say poker isn't the best idea for you. |
