Ah, the steam. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have looked down the barrel of an approaching steam – they’re either lying or they have not been betting long enough. This doesn’t mean of course that everyone has been on steam before, a handful of people have awesome control and carry their squanderings as a hit and leave it at that. To be a great poker player, it is especially critical to treat your successes and your losses in an identical way – with little emotion. You participate in the game in the same manner you did after taking a tough loss as you would after winning a great hand. Most of the poker pros are not attracted by tilting following a bad defeat as they are incredibly professional and you really should be to.
You have to understand that you cannot win every hand you are in, regardless if you are strongly favored. Hands that frequently cause players to go on tilt are hands you were the leading choice or at a minimum thought you were up until you were hit and you lost a gigantic portion of your bankroll. Bad beats are going to happen. Embrace that certainty right now, I’ll say it again – if your siblings play cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandpa enjoys cards – We all have bad losses sometime. It is an unavoidable experience of participating in Holdem, or for that matter any kind of poker.
Since we are assumingly (almost all of us) in the game for a single purpose – to win a profit, it certainly makes sense that we would play accordingly to maximize winnings. Now let us say you are up $100 off of a $100 deposit, and you take a gigantic blow in a NL game and your bankroll is only has remaining one hundred and twenty dollars. You’ve burned $80 in a hand where you were sure to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and enjoyed a 10 – 1 edge. And that guy! He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh bettor to start tilting. They just blew too much cash on one round that they really should have won and they are angry
