Right Before you Tilt
Wednesday, 17. February 2021
Ah, the poker steam. If a poker enthusiast claims at no time to have stared faced down the barrel of a looming steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been betting for a long time. This does not indicate of course that every player has been on tilt before, a handful of people have great control and carry their losses as a hit and keep it at that. To be a great poker player, it is especially crucial to treat your wins and your losses in an identical manner – with little emotion. You compete in the match the same way you did after taking a tough beat as you would after winning a big hand. All poker pros are not tempted by tilting following a bad loss as they are very professional and you should be to.
You have to be aware that you will not win each hand you are in, regardless if you are the front runner. Hands that typically make players to go on tilt are hands that you were the favorite or at least thought you were up until you were rivered and you lost a big chunk of your stack. Awful losses are going to develop. Face that fact right now, I will say it again – if your brother plays cards, if your mother plays cards, if your grandparents play cards – They have all had bad defeats at some point. It is an unavoidable outcome of participating in Texas Holdem, or in reality any type of poker.
Since we are assumingly (nearly all of us) playing poker for one purpose – to earn money, it certainly makes sense that we will wager accordingly to maximize winnings. Now let’s say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you take a big blow in a No Limits game and your stack is down to $120. You’ve burned $80 in a round where you were certain to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and held a 10 – 1 edge. And that fiend! He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic opportunity for a new gambler to start tilting. They just lost too much money on one round that they really should have won and they are pissed
