Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast claims at no time to have stared faced down the barrel of an upcoming poker steam – they are either telling a lie or they have not been competing very long. This doesn’t infer of course that each and every one has been on tilt in the past, some people have awesome control and take their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a great poker player, it is absolutely important to appraise your successes and your defeats in a similar manner – with little emotion. You compete in the game the same way you did after taking a difficult beat as you would after winning a huge hand. Many of the poker masters are not tempted by tilting after a bad defeat as they are very accomplished and you should be to.
You need to be aware that you won’t win each hand you are in, regardless if you are strongly favored. Hands that commonly cause players to go on tilt are hands you were the leading choice or at a minimum believed you were until you were side swiped and you lost a large chunk of your stack. Bad losses are going to happen. Face that idea right now, I will say it once again – if your sister plays cards, if your mother plays cards, if your grandparents play cards – We all have poor beats at some point. It’s an inevitable outcome of participating in Hold’em, or in reality any kind of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (most of us) in the game for a single purpose – to win cash, it certainly makes sense that we would bet appropriately to maximize our profit potential. Now let us say you are up $100 off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a big hit in a No Limits game and your bankroll is at $120. You have burned eighty dollars in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and enjoyed a ten to one edge. And that guy! He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic opportunity for a new bettor to begin tilting. They really just lost too much money on one round that they really should have won and they are pissed
