So i wanted to share the things i have noticed before when i was regularly visiting a land base casino during weekend and sometimes after work. I have noticed several times when a person was winning more than the usual in poker, i usually approach that person after he left the table what was his secret for those wins, i was literally surprised because 7 of 10 people whom i have asked answered they play gambling trying not to win but to have fun after a long tiring week of work or business.
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.
I'd actually say a person thinking of playing for fun would ever think of doing it to win more, that's just contradictory. And no, I also don't think it actually helps, maybe a bit, but not that much. I've always played for fun without minding wins or losses all the time but I rarely get instances of winning more than losing. It's mostly breaking even at times really.
And besides, it's not just the "not having fun" part that could stress you out. Even you being rather competitive in games like poker just for the sake of being competitive ( which, honestly gets brought up depending on your character and not whether you're intentionally having fun or not) is enough to stress you up as well.
