Before you Tilt
Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have stared faced over the shadow of an approaching poker steam - they're either telling a lie or they have not been competing very long. This doesn't mean obviously that everyone has been on tilt before, some people have wonderful willpower and take their losses as a hit and keep it at that. To be a brilliant poker player, it's especially important to treat your successes and your defeats in an identical way - with little emotion. You participate in the game the same way you did following a hard beat like you would after winning a big hand. Many of the poker pros are not attracted by tilting after a bad beat as they are very experienced and you should be to.
You need to understand that you can not win every hand you're in, even if you are the front runner. Hands which frequently cause people go on tilt are hands that you were the leading choice or at least believed you were until you were side swiped and you squandered a huge chunk of your bankroll. Awful defeats are bound to happen. Embrace that idea right now, I will say it again - if your siblings play cards, if your father enjoys cards, if your grandma plays cards - They have all had bad beats sometime. It is an unavoidable outcome of participating in Texas Hold'em, or in reality any type of poker.
After all we are assumingly (most of us) in the game for one reason - to earn cash, it certainly makes sense that we will play accordingly to maximize winnings. Now let's say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you take a huge hit in a NL game and your stack is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You've lost $80 in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and enjoyed a 10 - 1 advantage. And that fiend! He banged you out on the river? - Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a new gambler to begin tilting. They really just blew too much cash on one round that they should have won and they're agitated
