Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler claims never to have peered down the barrel of an approaching poker steam – they’re either lying or they haven’t been betting long enough. This does not imply of course that every poker player has gone on steam before, a handful of players have great willpower and take their losses as a hit and keep it at that. To be a great poker gambler, it is very crucial to appraise your successes and your defeats in a similar manner – with little emotion. You play the game in the same manner you did following a difficult loss as you would after winning a great hand. Most of the poker pros are not charmed by tilting following a horrible loss as they are incredibly seasoned and you should be to.
You must understand that you cannot win every hand you’re in, regardless if you are strongly favored. Hands that commonly make players to go on tilt are hands you were the favored or at a minimum believed you were until you were hit and you squandered a huge chunk of your stack. Awful defeats are bound to happen. Face that reality right now, I’ll say it once again – if your siblings play cards, if your parents enjoy cards, if your grandpa plays cards – We all have bad defeats sometime. It is an unavoidable experience of playing Holdem, or in reality any kind of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (most of us) in the game for a single reason – to make $$$$, it certainly makes sense that we would play appropriately to maximize our profit potential. Now let’s say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a huge blow in a No Limits game and your stack is at $120. You have squandered $80 in a hand where you were assured to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and enjoyed a ten to one advantage. And that guy! He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a new gambler to begin tilting. They just burned too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they are angry
