Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler states at no time to have looked down the shadow of a looming steam – they are either lying or they have not been wagering very long. This does not infer obviously that every poker player has been on tilt before, some players have excellent willpower and carry their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a good poker gambler, it’s especially critical to approach your wins and your losses in a similar manner – with little emotion. You compete in the game in the same manner you did following a hard beat like you would after winning a huge hand. Most of the poker masters are not attracted by tilting following an awful loss as they are highly experienced and you really should be to.
You must understand that you can not win each hand you are in, even if you are heavily favored. Hands which typically cause players to go on tilt are hands you were the leading choice or at a minimum believed you were up until you were rivered and you lost a big chunk of your bankroll. Bad losses are going to develop. Face that fact right now, I will say it again – if your siblings play cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandma enjoys cards – We all have bad beats sometime. It is an unavoidable experience of participating in Texas Hold’em, or really any kind of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (almost all of us) in the game for a single purpose – to earn money, it certainly makes sense that we will gamble accordingly to maximize winnings. Now let us say you are up $100 off of a $100 deposit, and you suffer a big blow in a NL game and your stack is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You have squandered eighty dollars in a round where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and had a 10 – 1 edge. And that guy! He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh player to start tilting. They just blew too much money on one hand that they should have won and they are aggravated
