Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler claims never to have peered down the shadow of an approaching poker steam – they’re either lying or they haven’t been wagering long enough. This does not indicate of course that everyone has been on tilt in the past, a handful of people have awesome willpower and carry their losses as a defeat and keep it at that. To be a good poker gambler, it’s extremely important to approach your wins and your defeats in the same manner – with no emotion. You participate in the game the same way you did following a difficult loss as you would after winning a huge hand. All poker pros are not enticed by tilting after an awful defeat as they are incredibly seasoned and you really should be to.
You must be certain that you can’t win each and every hand you’re in, even if you are the strongest player. Hands which commonly cause people go on tilt are hands you were the leading choice or at least believed you were until you were side swiped and you lost a large portion of your bankroll. Awful defeats are going to happen. Embrace that certainty right now, I will say it once more – if your sister plays cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandma plays cards – We all have poor defeats sometime. It is an unavoidable outcome of playing Texas Holdem, or really any type of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (nearly all of us) in the game for a single purpose – to acquire $$$$, it will make sense that we would bet appropriately to maximize our profit potential. Now let’s say you are up $100 off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a large blow in a NL game and your bankroll is at $120. You’ve lost $80 in a hand where you were certain to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a 10 – 1 advantage. And that amateur! He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a new gambler to start tilting. They really just burned too much $$$$ on one hand that they really should have won and they are agitated
