Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler claims never to have looked over the shadow of an approaching poker tilt – they are either lying or they have not been gambling long enough. This doesn’t infer obviously that everyone has been on steam before, a handful of players have great willpower and carry their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a brilliant poker player, it is very crucial to approach your wins and your losses in a similar way – with little emotion. You compete in the game the same way you did after taking a tough loss like you would after winning a great hand. Many of the poker pros are not charmed by tilting after an awful beat as they are very seasoned and you really should be to.
You need to be aware that you won’t win each and every hand you are in, regardless if you are the strongest player. Hands which frequently make people go on tilt are hands that you were the leading choice or at a minimum thought you were until you were rivered and you squandered a gigantic portion of your bankroll. Bad losses are bound to develop. Embrace that reality right now, I’ll say it again – if your brother plays cards, if your parents enjoy cards, if your grandma plays cards – They have all had bad defeats at some point. It is an unavoidable experience of participating in Texas Hold’em, or for that matter any kind of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for one reason – to win $$$$, it certainly makes sense that we will play appropriately to maximize profits. Now let us say you are up $100 off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you take a huge blow in a NL game and your bankroll is at one hundred and twenty dollars. You’ve lost eighty dollars in a round where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and had a ten to one advantage. And that amateur! He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a new player to start tilting. They basically lost too much cash on one hand that they should have won and they are pissed
