Right Before you Tilt
Ah, the steam. If a poker enthusiast claims at no time to have peered down the barrel of an approaching tilt – they are either lying or they have not been competing for a long time. This does not indicate of course that everyone has gone on tilt before, a handful of players have great control and carry their squanderings as a loss and leave it at that. To be a great poker player, it’s especially crucial to approach your successes and your losses in an identical way – with no emotion. You compete in the match the same way you did following a difficult beat like you would after winning a great hand. Most of the poker pros are not attracted by tilting following a horrible beat as they are particularly seasoned and you really should be to.
You have to understand that you won’t win each hand you are in, even if you are heavily favored. Hands that frequently cause players to go on tilt are hands that you were the favorite or at a minimum thought you were up until you were side swiped and you lost a gigantic portion of your stack. Bad beats are going to develop. Embrace that fact right now, I will say it once again – if your brother enjoys cards, if your mother enjoys cards, if your grandma enjoys cards – They have all had poor losses at some point. It is an inevitable effect of competing in Hold’em, or in reality any kind of poker.
After all we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for a single purpose – to make $$$$, it certainly makes sense that we would play accordingly to maximize our profit potential. Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a huge hit in a NL game and your stack is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You have burned $80 in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and enjoyed a 10 – 1 edge. And that guy! He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a brand-new player to start tilting. They basically lost too much money on one hand that they really should have won and they are aggravated
