Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker player claims at no time to have looked over the shadow of a looming poker steam – they are either lying or they haven’t been gambling for a long time. This does not mean of course that each and every one has gone on tilt before, a handful of people have awesome willpower and carry their losses as a hit and keep it at that. To be a strong poker gambler, it’s absolutely important to appraise your wins and your losses in the same way – with little emotion. You compete in the match the same way you did following a hard loss as you would after winning a great hand. Most of the poker masters are not attracted by tilting following an awful beat as they are incredibly seasoned and you must be to.
You need to understand that you can’t win each hand you are in, even if you are the front runner. Hands which commonly cause players to go on tilt are hands you were the favorite or at least thought you were up until you were rivered and you burned a large portion of your bankroll. Awful defeats are going to develop. Accept that certainty right now, I will say it once again – if your sister enjoys cards, if your mother enjoys cards, if your grandparents play cards – They have all had bad beats sometime. It is an unavoidable experience of participating in Texas Hold’em, or for that matter any type of poker.
Since we are assumingly (most of us) in the game for a single purpose – to win money, it certainly makes sense that we would play accordingly to maximize our profit potential. Now let’s say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you take a huge hit in a No Limits game and your stack is at one hundred and twenty dollars. You have burned eighty dollars 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 fiend! He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic opportunity for a new gambler to begin tilting. They really just burned too much $$$$ on one hand that they really should have won and they are aggravated
