In Advance of a Tilt
Ah, the tilt. If a poker gambler claims never to have looked over the barrel of a looming poker steam – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been playing long enough. This does not infer obviously that everyone has been on tilt before, some players have great willpower and carry their losses as a loss and keep it at that. To be a strong poker gambler, it is very critical to approach your wins and your losses in the same manner – with little emotion. You compete in the game the same way you did following a hard loss like you would after winning a big hand. All poker pros are not charmed by tilting after a horrible loss as they are particularly accomplished and you must be to.
You must be aware that you can’t win each hand you are in, even if you are strongly favored. Hands that normally make people go on tilt are hands you were the favorite or at least thought you were up until you were hit and you lost a large chunk of your bankroll. Bad beats are bound to happen. Accept that idea right now, I’ll say it once more – if your brother plays cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandparents enjoy cards – We all have poor losses at some point. It is an inevitable effect of participating in Texas Holdem, or for that matter any kind of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (most of us) in the game for one reason – to make cash, it certainly makes sense that we would wager accordingly to maximize winnings. Now let’s say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a huge hit in a No Limits game and your stack is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You have lost $80 in a round where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and enjoyed a ten to one 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 angry
