Playing too many hands, trying wild bluffs, raising with bad hands, steaming, losing composure, there wouldn’t be enough terms to describe it but your playing a really, really bad poker.
If your emotions overwhelmed you and it got the way of your intellectual side then you are steaming. This kind of situation is common in poker tables especially if a player is frustrated, angry and would cause someone to make wrong decisions in the game. No one will play tilt if they are on their right mind. People who are on excellent condition don’t do stupid things while playing poker.
If you lose your job and your house was repossessed by the bank and your boyfriend suddenly leaves you cold, do you think you can make a good decisions?
All poker players are vulnerable to steaming. Our problems even on our personal lives really affects our decision making process. So its really best to avoid playing poker when you are depressed.
Steaming won’t stop unless the problems will be solved. You will be in a roll if you are steaming, it seems like that it will get bigger and worst. And that day won’t be yours. Check out a common example of tilting:
It begins with a bad beat and your steaming because you had the superior hand but the winner with a supreme kind of luck won. You’re still thinking about it on the next hand. And then your with a very poor hand this time. And then you try to bet big with a poor hand hoping to get the luck of the guy who win the first hand. And you end up losing! The guy got the pot again for the second row and you’re angry with him and yourself for playing a poor hand to the hilt.
And it did not end there. Your luck was back again and you thought that its only a game, however after a few hours you experience another bad beat. And then you beginning to recall the first dead beat, the poor hand you played, the present beat you had, you’re husband leaving your door and then thinking what to do when you got to the office because you have not finished your job on the deadline.. and so on…
And then after more hands you see yourself playing with your whole savings, betting with a large bet 10 times bigger with your normal bet and having a bad hand.
