Ah, the tilt. If a poker gambler states at no time to have stared faced down the shadow of a looming steam – they are either telling a lie or they have not been betting for a long time. This does not mean of course that every player has gone on steam before, a handful of people have awesome willpower and take their losses as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a strong poker gambler, it is absolutely important to treat your wins and your defeats in the same way – with no emotion. You participate in the game the same way you did after taking a hard beat as you would after winning a big hand. Most of the poker masters are not enticed by tilting after a bad loss as they are very professional and you really should be to.
You need to be certain that you cannot win every hand you are in, regardless if you are the strongest player. Hands that frequently make players to go on tilt are hands you were the favorite or at a minimum thought you were up until you were side swiped and you squandered a gigantic portion of your bankroll. Bad defeats are going to develop. Face that fact right now, I will say it once again – if your sister plays cards, if your parents enjoy cards, if your grandpa enjoys cards – They have all had poor beats sometime. It’s an unavoidable experience of participating in Texas Hold’em, or really any kind of poker.
After all we are assumingly (nearly all of us) playing poker for one reason – to win cash, it certainly makes sense that we will gamble accordingly to maximize winnings. Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a $100 deposit, and you take a large blow in a NL game and your bankroll is at $120. You have burned $80 in a hand where you were assured to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a ten to one advantage. And that fish! He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a new gambler to begin tilting. They basically blew too much money on one hand that they really should have won and they are angry
