Ah, the steam. If a poker player claims never to have peered down the barrel of an upcoming poker steam – they are either lying or they have not been wagering very long. This doesn’t mean obviously that every player has gone on steam in the past, a handful of people have excellent willpower and take their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a great poker gambler, it is extremely crucial to approach your wins and your losses in a similar manner – with little emotion. You play 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 tempted by tilting following a horrible defeat as they are highly professional and you should be to.
You need to be certain that you will not win each hand you are in, regardless if you are the front runner. Hands which frequently make players to go on tilt are hands that you were the favorite or at least believed you were up until you were hit and you burned a large portion of your bankroll. Bad losses are going to develop. Face that fact right now, I’ll say it once again – if your siblings play cards, if your parents enjoy cards, if your grandma enjoys cards – We all have poor beats at some point. It’s an unavoidable experience of competing in Hold’em, or in reality any kind of poker.
After all we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for one reason – to make money, it would make sense that we will wager accordingly to maximize profits. Now let’s say you are up $100 off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you take a huge blow in a NL game and your stack is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You’ve lost eighty dollars 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 10 – 1 advantage. And that fiend! He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a brand-new gambler to start tilting. They really just blew too much money on one hand that they should have won and they’re agitated
