fearless-poker.gifPoker is nothing more than a test of courage. Not only are you potentially risking big money but you are (at times) putting yourself on the line. Sitting at that poker table, online or not, making a bet, folding, raising, getting beat and raking a pot will all make you feel butterflies in your stomach.

Mastering your fears and mastering your inner self is mastering poker. Consider the following:
