Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have looked down the barrel of a looming poker steam – they’re either lying or they have not been wagering for a long time. This doesn’t imply of course that every poker player has gone on steam before, some people have awesome willpower and carry their losses as a hit and leave it at that. To be a strong poker gambler, it’s very critical to approach your wins and your losses in an identical way – with little emotion. You compete in the game in the same manner you did following a tough beat as you would after winning a huge hand. Most of the poker pros are not charmed by tilting following a horrible loss as they are highly seasoned and you must be to.
You need to be certain that you won’t win every hand you’re in, even if you are the strongest player. Hands that frequently make players to go on tilt are hands you were the favored or at a minimum believed you were until you were rivered and you squandered a gigantic chunk of your bankroll. Bad defeats are going to develop. Embrace that reality right now, I will say it once more – if your brother enjoys cards, if your mother enjoys cards, if your grandpa plays cards – They have all had bad defeats at some point. It’s an unavoidable outcome of participating in Texas Hold’em, or for that matter any type of poker.
Since we are assumingly (most of us) in the game for one purpose – to earn money, it will make sense that we would gamble appropriately to maximize winnings. Now let’s say you are up $100 off of a $100 deposit, and you suffer a large hit in a NL game and your stack is only has remaining $120. You have burned $80 in a round where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a 10 – 1 edge. And that amateur! He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic choice for a fresh player to start tilting. They just burned too much $$$$ on one hand that they should have won and they are pissed
