Right Before you Tilt
Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast states never to have peered over the barrel of an upcoming poker tilt – they are either telling a lie or they have not been wagering very long. This doesn’t mean of course that every player has been on steam in the past, a handful of players have awesome willpower and carry their losses as a loss and keep it at that. To be a strong poker gambler, it is extremely critical to approach your wins and your defeats in an identical manner – with little emotion. You play the game the same way you did following a tough loss like you would after winning a great hand. All poker pros are not tempted by tilting following a bad defeat as they are incredibly accomplished and you should be to.
You need to be certain that you won’t win each and every hand you are in, regardless if you are the front runner. Hands that commonly make people go on tilt are hands that you were the favored or at a minimum thought you were until you were side swiped and you burned a big chunk of your stack. Awful losses are going to happen. Embrace that reality right now, I’ll say it once again – if your brother plays cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandparents play cards – They have all had bad beats at some point. It is an inevitable outcome of competing in Texas Holdem, or for that matter any kind of poker.
After all we are assumingly (nearly all of us) playing poker for a single reason – to make $$$$, it will make 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 huge blow in a No Limits game and your stack is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You’ve burned $80 in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and enjoyed a 10 – 1 edge. And that amateur! He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a brand-new gambler to start tilting. They really just burned too much cash on one round that they should have won and they are agitated
