Yeah, you'll always have some degree of huge pulse rate skyrocket. They put a heart monitor on D'Agostino when he was hu with Phil Ivey (I forget the tournament), and he was consistently jumping into the 140-150 range, which is moderate cardiovascular exercise range!

However, the suggestion of going into race situations at cheaper stakes is a good one. Your body is exhibiting a conditioned reflex, and if you start putting lots of chips in in a scenario that is very contextually similar to the normal one, but does not elicit strong physiological symptoms, you'll begin to associate those all-in moments with less physiological symptoms. I hope that made sense.
