Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player claims never to have peered down the shadow of a looming poker steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling for a long time. This does not infer of course that every player has been on steam before, a few people have great control and carry their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a great poker player, it’s extremely important to approach your successes and your losses in the same manner – with little emotion. You participate in the match in the same manner you did after taking a hard loss as you would after winning a huge hand. All poker masters are not tempted by tilting following an awful loss as they are particularly accomplished and you should be to.
You have to be aware that you can’t win each hand you’re in, even if you are heavily favored. Hands which typically make players to go on tilt are hands that you were the leading choice or at least thought you were until you were hit and you squandered a gigantic portion of your bankroll. Bad defeats are going to happen. Face that fact right now, I will say it again – if your brother plays cards, if your parents enjoy cards, if your grandparents play cards – We all have poor defeats at some point. It is an inevitable experience of competing in Hold’em, or really any kind of poker.
After all we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for a single reason – to make cash, it certainly makes sense that we would gamble accordingly to maximize our profit potential. Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a $100 deposit, and you take a large blow in a No Limits game and your stack is only has remaining one hundred and twenty dollars. You have lost $80 in a round where you were certain to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and held a ten to one edge. And that amateur! He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a new player to start tilting. They basically blew too much money on one hand that they should have won and they’re pissed
