In Advance of a Tilt
Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker player states never to have looked over the barrel of an upcoming poker tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been gambling for a long time. This does not mean obviously that every poker player has gone on tilt in the past, a few players have awesome control and carry their squanderings as a loss and leave it at that. To be a great poker player, it’s absolutely important to treat your successes and your losses in the same manner – with no emotion. You compete in the game in the same manner you did after taking a tough beat as you would after winning a huge hand. Most of the poker pros are not tempted by tilting after a bad defeat as they are incredibly seasoned and you must be to.
You need to be aware that you will not win every hand you’re in, even if you are the strongest player. Hands which typically make people go on tilt are hands you were the leading choice or at least thought you were up until you were side swiped and you squandered a large portion of your stack. Bad losses are going to happen. Embrace that fact right now, I’ll say it once more – if your siblings enjoy cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandparents enjoy cards – We all have bad beats sometime. It is an inevitable experience of participating in Holdem, or really any type of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for one purpose – to make a profit, it would make sense that we will bet accordingly to maximize our profit potential. Now let us say you are up $100 off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you take a large hit in a NL game and your stack is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You have burned $80 in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and held a 10 – 1 advantage. And that fish! He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a quintessential opportunity for a new player to start tilting. They basically blew too much money on one hand that they really should have won and they are pissed
