Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler states at no time to have looked down the barrel of an approaching poker tilt – they are either lying or they haven’t been wagering long enough. This does not infer obviously that everyone has gone on tilt before, some players have great control and carry their squanderings as a hit and leave it at that. To be a good poker gambler, it is especially crucial to treat your successes and your defeats in the same manner – with little emotion. You play the game in the same manner you did following a tough loss like you would after winning a huge hand. Most of the poker masters are not enticed by tilting following a bad beat as they are very accomplished and you should be to.
You need to understand that you cannot win every hand you are in, regardless if you are the strongest player. Hands that normally make people go on tilt are hands you were the favored or at least thought you were up until you were rivered and you squandered a large chunk of your stack. Bad defeats are bound to happen. Embrace that reality right now, I’ll say it again – if your sister enjoys cards, if your father plays cards, if your grandma enjoys cards – They have all had poor beats at some point. It is an inevitable outcome of playing Texas Holdem, or really any type of poker.
After all we are assumingly (almost all of us) in the game for one purpose – to win a profit, it certainly makes sense that we would bet appropriately to maximize profits. Now let us say you are up $100 off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you take a huge blow in a No Limits game and your stack is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You have lost $80 in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and enjoyed a 10 – 1 advantage. And that fiend! He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic opportunity for a new player to begin tilting. They basically blew too much $$$$ on one round that they really should have won and they are aggravated
