In Advance of a Tilt
Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast states at no time to have looked down the barrel of an approaching steam – they are either telling a lie or they have not been competing long enough. This does not mean of course that each and every one has been on tilt before, some people have great willpower and carry their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a good poker gambler, it’s absolutely critical to treat your wins and your defeats in a similar way – with no emotion. You participate in the match the same way you did following a hard beat as you would after winning a big hand. All poker masters are not enticed by tilting after a bad beat as they are incredibly professional and you should be to.
You have to be certain that you cannot win every hand you are in, even if you are heavily favored. Hands which frequently make players to go on tilt are hands that you were the leading choice or at a minimum thought you were up until you were rivered and you burned a big chunk of your stack. Awful defeats are going to happen. Embrace that reality right now, I will say it again – if your siblings enjoy cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandpa enjoys cards – They have all had bad defeats sometime. It is an unavoidable outcome of playing Hold’em, or for that matter any kind of poker.
After all we are assumingly (almost all of us) in the game for a single purpose – to make money, it certainly makes sense that we would wager appropriately to maximize winnings. Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a $100 deposit, and you take a gigantic blow in a No Limits game and your bankroll is only has remaining $120. You have burned eighty dollars in a round where you were sure to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a 10 – 1 edge. And that guy! He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh player to begin tilting. They just lost too much $$$$ on one round that they really should have won and they’re aggravated
