Ah, the poker steam. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have looked over the shadow of an approaching poker steam – they’re either lying or they haven’t been gambling long enough. This doesn’t indicate obviously that every player has gone on tilt before, some people have wonderful control and take their losses as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a strong poker gambler, it is absolutely critical to approach your successes and your losses in a similar manner – with little emotion. You compete in the game the same way you did after taking a difficult beat like you would after winning a great hand. All poker pros are not attracted by tilting after a horrible beat as they are incredibly experienced and you really should be to.
You have to be certain that you cannot win every hand you’re in, regardless if you are strongly favored. Hands which usually cause players to go on tilt are hands that you were the favorite or at a minimum thought you were up until you were rivered and you burned a large chunk of your bankroll. Bad losses are bound to develop. Embrace that fact right now, I will say it once again – if your siblings enjoy cards, if your mother enjoys cards, if your grandpa enjoys cards – They have all had poor losses sometime. It is an unavoidable outcome of playing Holdem, or really any kind of poker.
Since we are assumingly (almost all of us) in the game for a single reason – to win money, it does make sense that we would play accordingly to maximize profits. Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a $100 deposit, and you take a large blow in a No Limits game and your stack is down to $120. You’ve burned $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 edge. And that fiend! He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a new gambler to start tilting. They really just blew too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they’re pissed
