I don’t consider emotional because it’s intended as i’m an aggressive player. Although I do have different modes actually depending on what I’m playing and who I’m playing but most of the time I’m pretty aggressive, but it’s not only associated with Poker. It’s who I am…smdh

Yes, emotional bluffs is very bad. When you are not in the right mood , you can make moves just to feel better. But that usually lead to more losses. The thing is, you need to know when you are tilting and take a break immediately.

True, but I also keep in mind that opponents may assume I’m emotional after a frustrating hand or bad beat. That perception can work to your advantage if you know how to use it, but you can also go broke trying to force it. Pick your spots, stay disciplined, and keep learning and improving.
