The anatomy of tilting while playing poker

PokerDell — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 14:49:10 +0000

Tilting refers to how a poker player drastically changes game style because of bad beat. When a poke player experiences a series of bad beats, he or she goes on tilt by deviating from his or her usual poker strategy or style of playing. Tilting is poor poker play because of frustration at the table.

Aside from bad beats, a long stretch of poor hands can make anyone frustrated and start being impatient and eventually get frustrated and play any card. You might also be ticked off by you being fooled by your opponent’s bluff.

There are several degrees and kinds of tilting in poker. It is not always just going all in with every hand but there are also subtler ways of showing a tilt. You might also single out on an opponent and think that you can out maneuver him or her but you will be risking losing your chips this way.

The most common mistake of someone who is going on tilt is to chase draws. Here you call on a hand even though the odds do not favor you. With these situations, someone who is going on tilt still call even though their usual call would be to fold.

A poker player who is tilting tries to recover the money that has been lost by chasing for potential rake ins. The tendency is to play riskier and put in more money and in the long run mismanage your bankroll. You will be playing on higher stakes which you really cannot afford and you will be putting yourself into losing a lot of money.

A good poker player knows how to manage a tilt and how to offset it, so at the end of the day, they will still end up with some take home money.
