Ah, the steam. If a poker player states at no time to have looked down the shadow of a looming steam – they are either lying or they have not been competing very long. This does not mean of course that everyone has gone on steam before, a few players have awesome willpower and carry their squanderings as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a good poker player, it’s absolutely important to appraise your successes and your losses in a similar manner – with little emotion. You play the game the same way you did following a tough loss as you would after winning a huge hand. All poker masters are not tempted by tilting following a bad beat as they are incredibly accomplished and you should be to.
You must be aware that you will not win every hand you’re in, regardless if you are the front runner. Hands which commonly make players to go on tilt are hands that you were the favorite or at a minimum thought you were up until you were rivered and you burned a big portion of your stack. Awful defeats are going to develop. Accept that reality right now, I’ll say it once again – if your sister plays cards, if your father enjoys cards, if your grandpa plays cards – They have all had poor beats at some point. It’s an inevitable outcome of competing in Hold’em, or really any kind of poker.
Since we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for one reason – to make cash, it would make sense that we will gamble accordingly to maximize winnings. Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a $100 deposit, and you take a large hit in a No Limits game and your stack is only has remaining $120. You have squandered eighty dollars in a hand where you were assured to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and enjoyed a ten to one advantage. And that amateur! He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a fresh gambler to begin tilting. They just blew too much $$$$ on one round that they really should have won and they are pissed
