Poker 51

When you are playing online poker, how does one avoid going on Tilt?  First it’s important you understand that Poker is a game of partial information, and even though you may be more advanced than your opponent(s), there always remains a luck factor.  Discipline is key, be aware of your opponent’s skill level and understand that underdog hands do win from time to time.  Most of your bad beats will come up against Loose-Aggressive players, known for betting big almost every hand and never folding.  Keep in mind if you’re going to challenge a player with a heavy raise, you should avoid challenging the loose-aggressive player(s) at your table.  You will notice Tilt players never last long in Texas Hold’ em NL games; whether it’s a cash game or tournament, they simply don’t have the patience and discipline.

If you’re playing an online poker multi-table tournament and endure a bad beat putting you on Tilt, sometimes its best for you to take a break by selecting the away button - five minute breather.  Stepping away from the game will help refresh your mind and eliminate any sudden impulses to change your style of play.  Sure you may be dealt pocket rockets or cowboys while you’re not at your seat but it’s more important you tone down your anger and frustration - effectively allowing you to get back into your regular game strategy when you return.  Be aware, advanced players can pick up when you’re on Tilt often calling big raises, looking to clean you out immediately after you lose a big hand.
