Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker player claims at no time to have stared faced down the barrel of a looming poker tilt – they’re either lying or they haven’t been betting long enough. This does not mean of course that every player has gone on tilt in the past, some people have great willpower and take their losses as a loss and keep it at that. To be a brilliant poker gambler, it is absolutely critical to approach your wins and your losses in the same manner – with little emotion. You play the match the same way you did after taking a tough beat like you would after winning a big hand. Most of the poker pros are not tempted by tilting following a bad beat as they are incredibly professional and you really should be to.
You must understand that you can’t win each hand you’re in, regardless if you are the strongest player. Hands that commonly cause people go on tilt are hands that you were the favored or at a minimum thought you were up until you were side swiped and you lost a large portion of your bankroll. Bad losses are going to happen. Embrace that certainty right now, I’ll say it again – if your brother plays cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandparents play cards – They have all had poor beats sometime. It’s an inevitable outcome of participating in Holdem, or really any kind of poker.
Since we are assumingly (almost all of us) playing poker for one reason – to earn $$$$, it will make sense that we will wager accordingly to maximize profits. Now let’s say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you take a gigantic blow in a No Limits game and your stack is at one hundred and twenty dollars. You’ve squandered 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 held a 10 – 1 edge. And that fiend! He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a classic choice for a fresh player to begin tilting. They really just blew too much money on one hand that they should have won and they are agitated
