Ah, the steam. If a poker player states at no time to have peered down the shadow of an upcoming poker tilt – they’re either lying or they have not been gambling for a long time. This does not indicate of course that everyone has gone on tilt before, a handful of players have wonderful willpower and take their losses as a hit and leave it at that. To be a great poker gambler, it is very crucial to approach your wins and your defeats in a similar way – with no emotion. You compete in the game the same way you did after taking a hard loss like you would after winning a great hand. Many of the poker pros are not tempted by tilting after a horrible defeat as they are very experienced and you must be to.
You must be certain that you will not win each hand you are in, even if you are the front runner. Hands that frequently cause people go on tilt are hands that you were the favorite or at least believed you were until you were rivered and you burned a huge portion of your stack. Bad losses are going to develop. Embrace that idea right now, I’ll say it once more – if your sister enjoys cards, if your mother enjoys cards, if your grandparents enjoy cards – They have all had bad defeats sometime. It’s an inevitable experience of competing in Texas Holdem, or really any kind of poker.
Since we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for a single purpose – to acquire $$$$, it certainly makes sense that we will bet appropriately to maximize winnings. Now let’s say you are up $100 off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a gigantic hit in a NL game and your stack is at $120. You’ve lost eighty dollars in a hand where you were sure to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and had a 10 – 1 advantage. And that guy! He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a fresh player to begin tilting. They just blew too much $$$$ on one round that they really should have won and they are aggravated
