Before you Tilt
Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have peered down the shadow of an approaching poker steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been wagering long enough. This does not infer of course that every poker player has gone on tilt before, a handful of people have great control and carry their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a powerful poker player, it’s extremely important to approach your successes and your defeats in the same way – with little emotion. You participate in the game the same way you did following a tough loss like you would after winning a huge hand. All poker pros are not charmed by tilting after a horrible defeat as they are very seasoned and you must be to.
You have to be certain that you cannot win each hand you are in, even if you are the strongest player. Hands which frequently make people go on tilt are hands that you were the leading choice or at a minimum believed you were until you were side swiped and you burned a big chunk of your stack. Awful beats are bound to happen. Accept that idea right now, I’ll say it again – if your sister plays cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandparents play cards – They have all had bad losses sometime. It’s an inevitable effect of participating in Texas Holdem, or in reality any kind of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (nearly all of us) playing poker for one reason – to make cash, it would make sense that we will wager appropriately to maximize winnings. Now let us say you are up $100 off of a $100 deposit, and you suffer a big hit in a No Limits game and your stack is at one hundred and twenty dollars. You’ve burned eighty dollars in a round where you were sure to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and enjoyed a 10 – 1 edge. And that guy! He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh bettor to begin tilting. They basically burned too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they’re angry
