Ah, the steam. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have stared faced down the shadow of an upcoming poker tilt – they’re either lying or they haven’t been betting very long. This doesn’t mean obviously that everyone has been on tilt in the past, a number of players have excellent willpower and carry their losses as a loss and keep it at that. To be a great poker player, it’s especially crucial to approach your successes and your losses in the same way – with no emotion. You compete in the game in the same manner you did following a difficult loss as you would after winning a huge hand. Most of the poker pros are not enticed by tilting following an awful defeat as they are incredibly seasoned and you should be to.
You need to be aware that you will not win each and every hand you are in, even if you are the front runner. Hands that commonly cause people go on tilt are hands that you were the favorite or at a minimum thought you were up until you were rivered and you lost a big portion of your bankroll. Awful beats are going to happen. Embrace that certainty right now, I’ll say it again – if your siblings enjoy cards, if your mother enjoys cards, if your grandma enjoys cards – We all have poor losses at some point. It’s an unavoidable outcome of participating in Hold’em, or really any type of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for one purpose – to make a profit, it does make sense that we would wager accordingly to maximize our profit potential. Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a $100 deposit, and you suffer a big hit in a NL game and your bankroll is only has remaining one hundred and twenty dollars. You have squandered $80 in a round where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and had a 10 – 1 advantage. And that fish! He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh bettor to begin tilting. They just lost too much cash on one hand that they really should have won and they are angry
