Ah, the steam. If a poker player claims at no time to have peered down the barrel of an upcoming poker steam – they are either lying or they haven’t been playing long enough. This does not mean obviously that each and every one has been on tilt in the past, some people have awesome control and carry their squanderings as a defeat and keep it at that. To be a good poker player, it’s absolutely important to treat your successes and your losses in an identical way – with little emotion. You play the game in the same manner you did following a difficult loss as you would after winning a huge hand. Many of the poker pros are not charmed by tilting following a bad defeat as they are very experienced and you really should be to.
You have to be certain that you cannot win each hand you are in, regardless if you are the strongest player. Hands which usually cause players to go on tilt are hands that you were the favorite or at a minimum believed you were until you were hit and you burned a gigantic portion of your bankroll. Awful defeats are bound to develop. Accept that idea right now, I’ll say it again – if your siblings enjoy cards, if your mother enjoys cards, if your grandpa plays cards – We all have poor beats sometime. It’s an unavoidable experience of participating in Holdem, or for that matter any kind of poker.
After all we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for a single purpose – to win a profit, it would make sense that we would bet appropriately to maximize our profit potential. Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a $100 deposit, and you suffer a gigantic hit in a No Limits game and your bankroll is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You’ve squandered $80 in a round where you were sure to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and had a ten to one edge. And that fiend! He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a new player to start tilting. They basically burned too much $$$$ on one hand that they should have won and they are pissed
