Ah, the tilt. If a poker player states at no time to have peered down the barrel of a looming poker steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling long enough. This doesn’t imply of course that every poker player has been on tilt before, a handful of players have excellent willpower and take their losses as a defeat and keep it at that. To be a good poker player, it’s very important to treat your wins and your defeats in the same manner – with little emotion. You play the game in the same manner you did after taking a difficult beat like you would after winning a huge hand. Most of the poker pros are not attracted by tilting after a bad defeat as they are highly experienced and you must be to.
You must be aware that you can not win every hand you are in, regardless if you are heavily favored. Hands that normally make players to go on tilt are hands that you were the favored or at a minimum thought you were until you were rivered and you squandered a large portion of your bankroll. Bad losses are bound to happen. Embrace that fact right now, I will say it again – if your sister plays cards, if your parents enjoy cards, if your grandparents play cards – They have all had bad beats sometime. It’s an unavoidable outcome of participating in Texas Holdem, or for that matter any type of poker.
Since we are assumingly (nearly all of us) in the game for a single reason – to acquire cash, it will make sense that we will bet accordingly to maximize profits. Now let’s say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you take a large blow in a No Limits game and your stack is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You’ve lost $80 in a round where you were certain to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and enjoyed a ten to one edge. And that amateur! He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh player to start tilting. They basically blew too much money on one hand that they should have won and they are agitated
