Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler states at no time to have looked down the barrel of an approaching poker tilt – they are either lying or they haven’t been gambling very long. This does not infer of course that each and every one has gone on steam in the past, some players have wonderful control and carry their squanderings as a hit and keep it at that. To be a good poker player, it is absolutely critical to appraise your successes and your losses in a similar way – with little emotion. You play the match in the same manner you did after taking a difficult beat like you would after winning a big hand. All poker masters are not attracted by tilting following a bad beat as they are incredibly accomplished and you really should be to.
You have to understand that you can not win every hand you’re in, even if you are the strongest player. Hands that typically cause players to go on tilt are hands that you were the favored or at least thought you were up until you were rivered and you lost a huge chunk of your stack. Bad defeats are going to develop. Face that idea right now, I’ll say it again – if your siblings play cards, if your father plays cards, if your grandma enjoys cards – They have all had bad defeats at some point. It’s an inevitable outcome of playing Hold’em, or for that matter any kind of poker.
After all we are assumingly (almost all of us) playing poker for one reason – to win $$$$, it would make sense that we would gamble accordingly to maximize winnings. Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a big hit in a NL game and your bankroll is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You’ve burned eighty dollars in a round where you were certain to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and had a ten to one edge. And that guy! He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic choice for a fresh gambler to start tilting. They just blew too much cash on one round that they should have won and they are aggravated
