Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player states at no time to have peered down the barrel of an approaching tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling very long. This doesn’t mean obviously that everyone has gone on tilt in the past, a number of players have great willpower and carry their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a good poker player, it’s especially critical to approach your successes and your defeats in a similar manner – with little emotion. You participate in the match the same way you did following a tough beat as you would after winning a big hand. Many of the poker pros are not charmed by tilting following a bad beat as they are highly experienced and you really should be to.
You need to be aware that you won’t win each hand you are in, even if you are the front runner. Hands that usually make players to go on tilt are hands you were the favorite or at least thought you were up until you were side swiped and you lost a large portion of your stack. Awful beats are bound to develop. Accept that reality right now, I will say it again – if your siblings play cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandma plays cards – We all have poor losses sometime. It is an inevitable experience of playing Texas Hold’em, or in reality any kind of poker.
After all we are assumingly (almost all of us) playing poker for a single reason – to acquire $$$$, it certainly makes sense that we would bet appropriately to maximize profits. Now let’s say you are up $100 off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a gigantic hit in a No Limits game and your bankroll is at $120. You have burned eighty dollars in a hand where you were certain to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and enjoyed a ten to one advantage. And that fish! He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a new player to start tilting. They just burned too much $$$$ on one hand that they should have won and they are agitated
