Ah, the tilt. If a poker player claims never to have stared faced down the shadow of a looming tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling long enough. This doesn’t mean of course that every poker player has gone on steam before, a handful of players have awesome control and take their squanderings as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a brilliant poker gambler, it is especially important to appraise your wins and your defeats in an identical way – with little emotion. You compete in the game the same way you did after taking a tough loss like you would after winning a big hand. Many of the poker masters are not enticed by tilting after a bad loss as they are highly experienced and you must be to.
You must understand that you cannot win each and every hand you are in, even if you are the front runner. Hands which normally cause players to go on tilt are hands you were the favored or at least thought you were until you were hit and you squandered a gigantic chunk of your stack. Bad defeats are bound to happen. Face that idea right now, I’ll say it once again – if your brother enjoys cards, if your parents enjoy cards, if your grandma plays cards – They have all had bad beats sometime. It is an inevitable effect of competing in Hold’em, or for that matter any type of poker.
Since we are assumingly (almost all of us) in the game for one reason – to win money, it certainly makes sense that we would bet accordingly to maximize winnings. Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you take a huge blow in a No Limits game and your stack is down to $120. You have squandered eighty dollars in a hand where you were assured to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a 10 – 1 advantage. And that fiend! He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh player to start tilting. They just lost too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they are angry
