Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker player states at no time to have peered over the shadow of a looming steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling long enough. This doesn’t mean obviously that every player has been on steam in the past, a number of players have great willpower and take their losses as a hit and leave it at that. To be a good poker gambler, it is absolutely important to appraise your wins and your defeats in an identical way – with no emotion. You play the match in the same manner you did following a difficult loss as you would after winning a great hand. All poker masters are not tempted by tilting after a bad defeat as they are very professional and you really should be to.
You have to be aware that you cannot win each hand you are in, even if you are the front runner. Hands that usually cause players to go on tilt are hands that you were the leading choice or at least thought you were up until you were hit and you lost a big chunk of your bankroll. Bad defeats are going to develop. Face that fact right now, I will say it once more – if your siblings play cards, if your father plays cards, if your grandpa plays cards – We all have poor defeats sometime. It’s an unavoidable effect of competing in Hold’em, or for that matter any type of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (almost all of us) in the game for a single reason – to win $$$$, it would make sense that we will wager appropriately to maximize winnings. Now let us say you are up $100 off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a huge hit in a NL game and your bankroll is at $120. You have burned eighty dollars in a hand where you were assured to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and held a ten to one advantage. And that guy! He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic opportunity for a new player to start tilting. They really just burned too much cash on one round that they should have won and they are agitated
