Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler states at no time to have peered down the shadow of a looming steam – they’re either lying or they haven’t been gambling long enough. This doesn’t mean obviously that everyone has been on tilt before, some players have wonderful willpower and take their losses as a loss and keep it at that. To be a powerful poker player, it’s very important to treat your wins and your defeats in a similar manner – with little emotion. You participate in the game the same way you did following a tough beat like you would after winning a great hand. Many of the poker pros are not attracted by tilting after an awful beat as they are particularly experienced and you must be to.
You have to be aware that you can’t win each hand you are in, regardless if you are the strongest player. Hands which normally make people go on tilt are hands that you were the leading choice or at a minimum thought you were up until you were hit and you burned a large chunk of your stack. Awful losses are going to happen. Face that idea right now, I will say it once again – if your siblings enjoy cards, if your parents enjoy cards, if your grandpa enjoys cards – They have all had poor losses sometime. It is an unavoidable effect of competing in Texas Holdem, or for that matter any kind of poker.
After all we are assumingly (almost all of us) in the game for one reason – to acquire cash, it would make sense that we will gamble appropriately to maximize profits. Now let’s say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you take a huge hit in a No Limits game and your stack is only has remaining $120. You have lost eighty dollars 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 bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a new player to begin tilting. They basically burned too much money on one round that they should have won and they are angry
