Before you Tilt
Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker gambler claims never to have peered over the barrel of an approaching steam – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling long enough. This doesn’t mean obviously that each and every one has been on steam before, a few players have awesome control and take their losses as a hit and leave it at that. To be a good poker gambler, it’s absolutely important to appraise your successes and your defeats in an identical manner – with little emotion. You compete in the match the same way you did after taking a difficult loss as you would after winning a great hand. Many of the poker pros are not attracted by tilting after an awful loss as they are very seasoned and you should be to.
You have to be aware that you will not win each hand you’re in, regardless if you are the strongest player. Hands that frequently cause people go on tilt are hands you were the favored or at least believed you were up until you were side swiped and you squandered a huge portion of your stack. Awful losses are bound to happen. Embrace that reality right now, I will say it again – if your sister plays cards, if your mother plays cards, if your grandparents play cards – They have all had poor losses at some point. It is an inevitable outcome of participating in Hold’em, or really any kind of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for a single reason – to win a profit, it will make sense that we will wager appropriately to maximize profits. Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a $100 deposit, and you suffer a large hit in a No Limits game and your bankroll is at $120. You have lost $80 in a round where you were assured to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and held a ten to one advantage. And that guy! He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic choice for a new player to start tilting. They really just burned too much money on one round that they really should have won and they are pissed
