Just Before you Tilt

[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have peered over the shadow of a looming tilt – they are either lying or they have not been playing very long. This doesn’t imply of course that each and every one has been on steam before, some people have awesome control and carry their losses as a defeat and keep it at that. To be a great poker player, it is especially important to appraise your successes and your losses in a similar way – with no emotion. You play the match the same way you did following a tough loss as you would after winning a big hand. Most of the poker masters are not charmed by tilting following an awful defeat as they are incredibly professional and you must be to.

You need to understand that you won’t win each hand you’re in, even if you are the strongest player. Hands which commonly cause players to go on tilt are hands that you were the favorite or at least believed you were up until you were rivered and you burned a large chunk of your stack. Bad losses are going to develop. Face that fact right now, I will say it again – if your sister plays cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandma enjoys cards – We all have bad beats sometime. It’s an unavoidable experience of competing in Texas Hold’em, or for that matter any kind of poker.

Seeing as we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for a single reason – to win cash, it certainly makes sense that we would gamble accordingly to maximize profits. Now let’s say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a big blow in a NL game and your stack is at one hundred and twenty dollars. You’ve squandered $80 in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a 10 – 1 advantage. And that fish! He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a quintessential opportunity for a brand-new bettor to begin tilting. They just burned too much $$$$ on one hand that they really should have won and they’re agitated
