Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have looked over the shadow of an approaching steam – they’re either lying or they haven’t been playing long enough. This does not imply obviously that everyone has been on tilt in the past, a few players have excellent control and take their squanderings as a loss and leave it at that. To be a powerful poker gambler, it is absolutely important to appraise your successes and your defeats in the same manner – with little emotion. You participate in the match the same way you did after taking a tough loss as you would after winning a big hand. Many of the poker pros are not attracted by tilting after a bad loss as they are particularly accomplished and you really should be to.
You need to understand that you will not win each and every hand you are in, even if you are the strongest player. Hands that usually make players to go on tilt are hands you were the favored or at least believed you were up until you were hit and you squandered a huge chunk of your stack. Awful beats are bound to develop. Face that certainty right now, I’ll say it again – if your siblings enjoy cards, if your mother enjoys cards, if your grandparents enjoy cards – We all have poor losses sometime. It’s an inevitable experience of competing in Texas Hold’em, or in reality any type of poker.
After all we are assumingly (most of us) in the game for one purpose – to make $$$$, it certainly makes sense that we would gamble appropriately to maximize profits. Now let us say you are up $100 off of a $100 deposit, and you take a large blow in a NL game and your bankroll is only has remaining $120. You’ve lost $80 in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and enjoyed a 10 – 1 advantage. And that guy! He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a classic opportunity for a new gambler to start tilting. They really just lost too much cash on one round that they really should have won and they are aggravated

Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve last game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest bettors around the world. While gambling on internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world may be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
