Default Re: Doest feel like playing, scared money after winning session

Are you applying good bankroll management? So if you lose a buy-in it will not be a problem.

But if you do all things wright, maybe it's just something psychological. I don't know which stakes you play, but maybe you are seeing the blinds at real $value and not as units.
If so, move a level down and get used to seeing it as units.
Maybe try using a time limit per session, say 1 hour max and whether you are up or down in the session, you quit playing poker and take a break.

Maybe, you have to do something completely else, try a new hobby/ workout, anything that can help you with some of the negative feelings you have with playing poker.
Or maybe, if you are scared playing poker because the feeling aint right, ask yourself do you love poker?
If no, stop playing poker.
If yes, you have to face the fear within you and start playing adn build up your confidence.
