Right Before you Tilt
Ah, the tilt. If a poker player claims never to have peered down the barrel of a looming poker steam - they're either lying or they haven't been betting for a long time. This doesn't imply of course that every player has been on tilt in the past, a number of players have excellent willpower and carry their squanderings as a loss and keep it at that. To be a strong poker gambler, it is extremely important to treat your wins and your losses in the same way - with little emotion. You play the game the same way you did after taking a tough beat like you would after winning a huge hand. All poker pros are not tempted by tilting after an awful defeat as they are very professional and you should be to.
You need to be certain that you will not win each and every hand you are in, regardless if you are the strongest player. Hands which typically cause people go on tilt are hands that you were the favored or at least believed you were up until you were hit and you lost a big chunk of your bankroll. Bad beats are going to develop. Face that fact right now, I will say it once again - if your sister plays cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandparents play cards - They have all had bad losses sometime. It's an inevitable outcome of competing in Texas Hold'em, or for that matter any kind of poker.
Since we are assumingly (nearly all of us) playing poker for one reason - to acquire cash, it certainly makes sense that we would play appropriately to maximize our profit potential. Now let's say you are up $100 off of a $100 deposit, and you take a large hit in a No Limits game and your stack is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You have squandered $80 in a round where you were certain to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a ten to one advantage. And that guy! He sucked you out on the river? - Well stop right there. This is a classic opportunity for a new gambler to start tilting. They just lost too much cash on one round that they should have won and they are aggravated
