Hello poker fans! There are some facts which are linked with poker online. One of them is poker tilt. It can be defined in various manners. But the most fitting one is when emotions make you play worse than you should. Emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, hate, etc. Tilt is the most expensive leak in poker.
There are many reasons why one may tilt. One of them is if a player can’t play a hand past the turn without getting check raised by someone who hit two-pair, then it’s going to be hard to maintain composure and shrug it off and move on. Often, just losing money will set a player on tilt. Some tilt triggers can be avoided.
Tilt may be preventable
Losing money isn’t something a player can do a whole lot because it’s going to happen even if a player plays perfectly. But in other situations the tilt may be preventable. If someone taunts a player, he must be cool enough with that not to let it get to him. He can pick another table. A player tilts more easily when he is tired, hungry or under any other external influence which he knows that it affects him. A player can stop playing in this case. In order to learn how to deal with an instinct or emotion, a player has to be aware of it.
A player ought to search for situations that commonly tilt people, losing to long shot draws, missing several draws in a row and getting into an argument with someone at the table. If it is confirmed that he is tilting, it’s time to get up and walk away. There’s always more time to play later, right now a player need focus on emotions.
When players play poker online, log off from the poker site and sit down taking notes on what the exact situation was that got them tilting, if they can remember. This will help them identify a similar situation much easier next time. It should help them regain the proper view and return to the tables more confident.
Luck doesn’t change, because luck doesn’t exist in the online poker game. It’s all about perspective, and the best time to get that perspective is when a poker player is smack in the middle of the events that he is trying to get a view on.
Happy playing!!
