Playing on Tilt
One of the toughest things for a player to learn is to minimize the tilt factor. We all do it, there isn\'t anyone that hasn\'t or won\'t.
Take a river beat, have KK capped preflop and til the river to see a board 476KJ
To see your opponent have 58 os, and you wonder why they were reraising you preflop with junk. And you lose a huge amount of money.
It\'s best to get up and walk away for a bit, or sit out if you\'re online. You\'re so fired up to show someone, I will show you.....instead you lose even more money, get even more mad, and then you are tiliting away.
The damage you do to your bankroll is hard to overcome in the short term, and in the long run you have to learn to take the beat and move on.
Easy to say tough to do. I like to have a notepad open, and just type what I feel and let it go, once I do that, I look at it, and laugh, and get back to business.
Something to think about next time you suffer a horrendous beat.
Good luck and see you at the tables.
