Ah, the poker steam. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have peered down the barrel of an approaching steam – they are either lying or they have not been competing for a long time. This doesn’t infer of course that every poker player has been on tilt before, a handful of people have awesome control and carry their losses as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a brilliant poker gambler, it’s especially critical to treat your successes and your losses in an identical way – with little emotion. You play the game the same way you did following a tough beat as you would after winning a great hand. Many of the poker pros are not enticed by tilting after a bad beat as they are very professional and you must be to.

You have to be aware that you will not win each and every hand you are in, even if you are strongly favored. Hands that commonly cause people go on tilt are hands you were the favored or at least believed you were up until you were hit and you lost a big portion of your bankroll. Bad beats are going to develop. Accept that idea right now, I’ll say it again – if your sister enjoys cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandparents enjoy cards – We all have bad defeats sometime. It is an unavoidable experience of playing Hold’em, or in reality any type of poker.

Seeing as we are assumingly (almost all of us) in the game for one reason – to earn money, it certainly makes sense that we will play appropriately to maximize winnings. Now let’s say you are up one hundred dollars off of a $100 deposit, and you suffer a large blow in a NL game and your bankroll is only has remaining one hundred and twenty dollars. You have squandered $80 in a hand where you were certain to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and held a ten to one advantage. And that fiend! He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic choice for a new player to begin tilting. They just burned too much $$$$ on one hand that they should have won and they’re angry
