Right Before you Tilt
Monday, 2. December 2024
Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast states at no time to have peered over the shadow of an approaching poker tilt – they’re either lying or they have not been competing long enough. This doesn’t mean obviously that each and every one has been on steam before, a number of people have great willpower and carry their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a good poker player, it’s absolutely important to approach your successes and your defeats in the same way – with little emotion. You play the game in the same manner you did after taking a hard beat like you would after winning a big hand. Most of the poker pros are not charmed by tilting following a horrible beat as they are very seasoned and you must be to.
You have to be aware that you can’t win every hand you’re in, regardless if you are strongly favored. Hands which frequently make people go on tilt are hands you were the favored or at a minimum believed you were up until you were side swiped and you squandered a large chunk of your bankroll. Bad losses are going to develop.

It’s an inevitable effect of competing in Texas Holdem, or for that matter any type of poker.
Since we are assumingly (nearly all of us) in the game for a single reason – to acquire $$$$, it certainly makes sense that we will play accordingly to maximize winnings. Now let’s say you are up $100 off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a big blow in a NL game and your bankroll is at one hundred and twenty dollars. You have burned $80 in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and enjoyed a ten to one advantage. And that fiend! He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a classic choice for a fresh gambler to start tilting. They really just burned too much money on one hand that they should have won and they’re agitated
