Bold or Terrified

Getting out of your own head is sooooo important.

You throw out a sizeable bluff. You're terrified.

Guess what. The other players can't see that terror. What they more likely to see is bold confidence!

They throw out a big bet, hoping YOU'RE terrified.

You're not, you're merely assessing the odds it's a bluff, or that their kicker is lower than yours, and they're hoping you'll fold in fear since their hand isn't likely to hold up.

Maybe the thing to do is, every time you feel a strong emotion, ask yourself what the opposite of that emotion would be. Or what emotion THEY are likely feeling.
