Ah, the steam. If a poker player states at no time to have peered down the barrel of an approaching tilt – they’re either lying or they haven’t been competing for a long time. This does not imply of course that every player has gone on steam in the past, a number of players have excellent willpower and carry their squanderings as a hit and keep it at that. To be a great poker player, it is especially crucial to treat your successes and your losses in the same manner – with no emotion. You play the game in the same manner you did after taking a tough loss as you would after winning a big hand. Many of the poker pros are not enticed by tilting following a horrible beat as they are incredibly experienced and you really should be to.
You need to be aware that you won’t win every hand you are in, regardless if you are heavily favored. Hands which commonly make people go on tilt are hands that you were the favored or at a minimum thought you were until you were hit and you lost a big chunk of your stack. Bad defeats are going to develop. Accept that idea right now, I will say it once again – if your brother plays cards, if your mother enjoys cards, if your grandpa plays cards – We all have bad defeats at some point. It’s an unavoidable effect of competing in Holdem, or for that matter any type of poker.
Since we are assumingly (most of us) in the game for a single reason – to make a profit, it would make sense that we would bet accordingly to maximize profits. Now let’s say you are up $100 off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a huge blow in a NL game and your stack is only has remaining $120. You’ve squandered $80 in a hand 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 bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic choice for a new gambler to start tilting. They basically lost too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they’re angry
