Just Before you Tilt
Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have peered down the barrel of a looming tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling long enough. This does not mean obviously that every poker player has been on tilt in the past, a few people have wonderful control and take their losses as a hit and keep it at that. To be a strong poker player, it’s especially critical to approach your wins and your defeats in the same manner – with no emotion. You participate in the match in the same manner you did after taking a difficult beat as you would after winning a huge hand. Most of the poker masters are not enticed by tilting after an awful beat as they are highly professional and you must be to.
You must understand that you can’t win each and every hand you’re in, regardless if you are the strongest player. Hands that usually cause people go on tilt are hands you were the leading choice or at a minimum believed you were up until you were side swiped and you squandered a gigantic portion of your stack. Bad beats are bound to happen. Face that certainty right now, I will say it again – if your brother enjoys cards, if your parents enjoy cards, if your grandma plays cards – They have all had poor defeats sometime. It is an unavoidable experience of competing in Holdem, or for that matter any type of poker.
Since we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for one reason – to make a profit, it does make sense that we would bet appropriately to maximize our profit potential. Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a gigantic hit in a NL game and your stack is only has remaining one hundred and twenty dollars. You have lost $80 in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a 10 – 1 edge. And that fiend! He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic opportunity for a brand-new gambler to begin tilting. They just blew too much cash on one round that they should have won and they’re pissed
