Does anyone of you thought that playing for fun helps you think better and win with less effort especially in poker than having the mindset of trying to win? Because when you are trying your hard to win, it will make you overthink and that your mental state will get stressed out.
I think this will work for both land base and online casinos.

That's just a big pile of bullshit. Do you think Negreanu and Phil Ivey play for fun? The person who plays poker to win takes it as a job, mainly mental, based on a mixture of probability calculation and intuition.

Playing for fun is done by recreational players or fish, who lose in the long run, but obviously have winning sessions, otherwise they would not play.

What you express is a simple superstition like any other.
