Don’t get you caught on tilt!

Monday, May 11th, 2009

What happens when your opponent hits a one outer on the river to win your whole stack? Do you start to play like a nut and start losing a lot of more money? If this is the case, this article could be helpful for you :)

You’ve very prone to go on steaming, which means you lose your emotional control when things go wrong. This is something you really need to be able to control, it will save you a lot of money. Everyone suffers bad beats from time to time, but if you go on tilt every time you will lose a lot of money and it’ll destroy game.

But there are some things you can do to minimize your damages after suffering a bad beat. The simplest solution is to follow this rule.

Anytime you feel that your emotional control has been affected by a bad loss, juist quit for the day (or some reasonable length of time). If you’re multitabling, shut down all the tables. Take a walk, read a book, watch a movie, but don’t play poker until you’re back ready.

This will certainly have some negative affect on your poker action. But … when you’re tilting action is the very last thing you need ;) Don’t take too many risks losing your bankroll ;) Better to break a while than become favourite to lose a few hundred big blinds. Know when to fold!
