Before You Tilt

Ah, the tilt.
If a poker player claims never to have staerd faced down the barrel of an upcoming tilt – they’re either lying or they haven’t been playing long enough.
This doesn’t mean of course that evreyone has gone on tilt before, persons have great willpower and take their losses as a loss and leave it at that.

To be a strong pkoer player, it is very important to treat your wins and your losses in the same manner – with no emotion. You play the game the same way you did after taking a tough beat as you wuold after winning a huge hand. All poker pros are not tempted by tilting after a bad beat as they are very seasoned and you should be to.You must understand that you can’t win every hand your in, even if you are heavily favored.
Hands which usually make persons go on tilt are hands that you were the favorite or at least thought you were until you were rivered and you lost a big chnuk of your stack. Bad beats are giong to happen. Face that fact right now, I’ll say it again – if your brother players cards, if your mother plays cards, if your grandma plays cards – We all have bad beats sometimes.

It is an inevitable effect of playing texas holdem, or for that matter any kind of poker.Since we are assumingly (most of us) in the game for one purpose – to make money, it would make sense that we would play accordingly to maximixe profits.

Now let’s say you are up $100 off of a $100 deposit, and you take a large blow in a NL game and your stcak is down to $120. You’ve lost $80 in a hand wehre you were sure to pick up $200 when you went all-in on the flop and had a 10 – 1 advantage. And that fish!

He sucked you out on the river right?
