Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler states at no time to have looked down the barrel of a looming tilt – they’re either lying or they have not been playing very long. This does not mean obviously that every player has gone on steam before, some people have awesome control and take their losses as a defeat and keep it at that. To be a strong poker gambler, it is absolutely critical to treat your successes and your losses in a similar manner – with no emotion. You compete in the game in the same manner you did after taking a tough beat as you would after winning a huge hand. Many of the poker pros are not charmed by tilting after a horrible loss as they are particularly accomplished and you should be to.
You need to be certain that you cannot win every hand you are in, regardless if you are strongly favored. Hands which usually make people go on tilt are hands you were the favorite or at least believed you were up until you were side swiped and you burned a large chunk of your bankroll. Awful beats are going to happen. Face that reality right now, I’ll say it once again – if your brother plays cards, if your parents enjoy cards, if your grandma plays cards – We all have bad beats at some point. It is an unavoidable outcome of participating in Hold’em, or in reality any kind of poker.
Since we are assumingly (nearly all of us) in the game for one reason – to earn cash, it certainly makes sense that we would gamble accordingly to maximize our profit potential. Now let us say you are up $100 off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a gigantic blow in a NL game and your bankroll is down to $120. You have squandered $80 in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a ten to one edge. And that fish! He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a quintessential opportunity for a new player to begin tilting. They just burned too much cash on one round that they really should have won and they’re angry
