Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler states never to have stared faced down the barrel of an approaching steam – they are either lying or they have not been betting long enough. This does not infer obviously that everyone has been on steam in the past, some people have wonderful willpower and take their losses as a hit and keep it at that. To be a good poker player, it’s absolutely crucial to treat your successes and your defeats in a similar way – with no emotion. You play the game in the same manner you did after taking a difficult beat like you would after winning a great hand. Many of the poker masters are not attracted by tilting after an awful beat as they are particularly experienced and you really should be to.
You need to understand that you can not win every hand you are in, regardless if you are heavily favored. Hands which normally make players to go on tilt are hands you were the leading choice or at least believed you were up until you were side swiped and you burned a huge portion of your bankroll. Bad beats are bound to happen. Face that fact right now, I will say it once more – if your brother enjoys cards, if your father plays cards, if your grandparents enjoy cards – They have all had poor losses at some point. It’s an inevitable experience of playing Texas Holdem, or for that matter any type of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for a single reason – to make cash, it certainly makes sense that we will gamble accordingly to maximize our profit potential. Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you suffer a huge hit in a No Limits game and your bankroll is at $120. You have lost $80 in a round where you were certain to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and enjoyed a ten to one advantage. And that fish! He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh player to begin tilting. They really just blew too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they are aggravated
