Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler states at no time to have looked over the barrel of an upcoming poker steam – they’re either lying or they have not been gambling long enough. This doesn’t mean of course that every player has been on tilt in the past, a number of people have great willpower and carry their losses as a loss and keep it at that. To be a good poker gambler, it’s absolutely critical to appraise your successes and your losses in an identical manner – with no emotion. You participate in the game in the same manner you did after taking a tough beat like you would after winning a huge hand. Many of the poker masters are not attracted by tilting following an awful beat as they are highly professional and you really should be to.
You must understand that you won’t win each hand you are in, even if you are heavily favored. Hands which typically cause players to go on tilt are hands that you were the favored or at least thought you were until you were rivered and you squandered a gigantic portion of your stack. Awful defeats are bound to happen. Embrace that certainty right now, I will say it once more – if your sister plays cards, if your parents enjoy cards, if your grandma plays cards – They have all had bad beats at some point. It is an unavoidable effect of playing Hold’em, or really any kind of poker.
After all we are assumingly (almost all of us) in the game for a single purpose – to win money, it certainly makes sense that we will gamble appropriately to maximize profits. Now let’s say you are up $100 off of a $100 deposit, and you take a gigantic hit in a NL game and your stack is only has remaining one hundred and twenty dollars. You’ve squandered $80 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 fish! He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic choice for a new player to start tilting. They basically blew too much $$$$ on one hand that they should have won and they are agitated
