Going on Tilt...SOOOO...

STUPID...

No rocket science here but my experience as a new player has been that once I start winning a bit..catching cards...and out manuvering my opponents...

I feel like I can just fire up a game and everyone one will just lose to me...my marginal odds seem like they are invincible ...and then I lose and am supposed to come back down to reality...

But instead...I say that was one game...and then end up doing the same kinda thing again....usually early in a tourney...sometimes mid game...

Point is that once I get tired of donking...I all of a sudden remember what got me my profit in the first place and go back to fundamentals....after a win or top 3 finish...I feel back in control and on my game where I can make sensible decisions...

Sooo I guess thats my form of going on tilt...Remember folks you know when you are making risky..bad..donk decisions...fold the hand and be patient till you get in a more favorable position...its really not worth the risk/loss of money....if you feel you are a decent player then you will get your shot on another hand hopefully when you have a better read or are the sure favorite....

After I look back on it....I realize that leak in my game and am trying to clog the hole..lol

Just my thoughts as I play and learn....

GL!!!

thanks dude i totally agree... there's situations in a game when you are been drawn to a game because of the huge pot even when the odds you'll win the round are incredibly low...

Thanks for your tips. To me it seems often on online poker that you seem to have the nuts, but you almost always end up getting beat one way or another by one miracle card in the deck. It drives me nuts sometimes, but that's the way it seems to me.

that sucks i know but it happens in real-life poker as well. That's the game, and it doesn't matter if the "miracle" card came out, as long as you made the right decision. One which is based on Common sense and not on feelings...
