Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast states never to have looked down the barrel of an upcoming poker tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been competing long enough. This does not mean obviously that each and every one has been on steam before, some people have wonderful control and carry their losses as a defeat and keep it at that. To be a strong poker player, it is absolutely important to treat your successes and your defeats in the same way – with little emotion. You play the game in the same manner you did following a tough beat as you would after winning a big hand. All poker pros are not charmed by tilting following a bad defeat as they are particularly professional and you should be to.
You have to be aware that you cannot win every hand you’re in, even if you are heavily favored. Hands that frequently cause people go on tilt are hands that you were the leading choice or at least believed you were up until you were side swiped and you burned a gigantic portion of your bankroll. Bad beats are going to happen. Accept that certainty right now, I’ll say it once again – if your brother enjoys cards, if your parents enjoy cards, if your grandparents enjoy cards – We all have poor beats sometime. It is an inevitable outcome of competing in Holdem, or really any type of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (almost all of us) playing poker for a single purpose – to earn money, it certainly makes sense that we would play accordingly to maximize profits. Now let us say you are up $100 off of a $100 deposit, and you take a large blow in a No Limits game and your stack is only has remaining $120. You have lost eighty dollars in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and had a 10 – 1 edge. And that amateur! He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a new bettor to begin tilting. They really just blew too much cash on one hand that they really should have won and they are aggravated
