In Advance of a Tilt
Ah, the tilt. If a poker gambler states at no time to have looked down the shadow of an approaching tilt – they are either telling a lie or they have not been competing very long. This does not indicate obviously that everyone has been on tilt before, some people have great control and carry their losses as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a great poker player, it is very critical to approach your successes and your losses in the same manner – with little emotion. You play the match the same way you did after taking a difficult loss as you would after winning a huge hand. All poker masters are not enticed by tilting following an awful defeat as they are incredibly experienced and you must be to.
You need to understand that you can’t win each and every hand you’re in, regardless if you are heavily favored. Hands that frequently make people go on tilt are hands that you were the favored or at a minimum thought you were until you were rivered and you lost a huge portion of your bankroll. Bad beats are bound to develop. Face that idea right now, I will say it once again – if your brother enjoys cards, if your father enjoys cards, if your grandma plays cards – They have all had poor defeats at some point. It is an inevitable outcome of playing Texas Hold’em, or really any type of poker.
After all we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for one purpose – to earn $$$$, it would make sense that we would bet accordingly to maximize our profit potential. Now let us say you are up $100 off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a gigantic hit in a NL game and your stack is at $120. You’ve burned $80 in a round where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and had a 10 – 1 advantage. And that amateur! He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a fresh bettor to start tilting. They really just blew too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they are agitated
