ty I was hoping to get feedback as to whether some people feel this way about the game, given that this is the psychology forum. Poker has so much to do with emotion and control. I play regularly with a friend who would be a great player if he could just remove his ego from the game. I also realize that if I could distance myself from the game that I would be a better player.
