TILT – WHY IT HAPPENED – HOW TO AVOID

THINGS ARE NOT GOING YOU WAY

Sitting long time around the tabel(s) without any possibility to play – wrong ''good hands'' at wrong time.

Example - You will get AJ, suited connectors etc in early position and forced to fold

Loosing at the start  for couple (or even more) made hands to ''river rats''

Example – You have already straight, flush or trips and and opponent will hit higher one at the river

After couple losses You will afraid play ''right hand'' in right position

Example – having KQ suited in early position, K10 in middle position, 87 at CO, SB, BB etc

AVOID – REMEMBER – Everybody will get lucky sometimes – even You. IT was their time. We mostly remember times then somebody else did hit, not that much then we do

LOOSING PATIENT

Hand selection

You will start play ''if''s in hope it will be You time to get lucky (everybody else does why not me)

Example – middle or small suited connectors in early position etc

Willing to win You losses back

Checking often how much You lost or win already

Starting to cold call in early or middle position

You are easy target to squeezers – they will 3bet and You will be forced to fold

Betting out then table texture indicates already You are lost

Remind yourself reason why did You call or bet (draw, hoping for set etc). It did not happened – take deep breath and see what opponent will do or just fold and go on with next hand

Tired/ long session

Forcing yourself to play then You should not – better go read some articles or study game

AVOID – REMEMBER -Poker is game of the skills not luck. There is always coming up another hand after few seconds or You can start next session after little while (internet after all)

CALLING BIG BETS

Calling all ins is almost always bad thing to do

All in preflop is mostly ''lucky'' bet/call. Every two cards can win in this game.

All in without ''nuts'' at later streets is somehow ''lucky'' bet/call too mostly - everybody will get ''good made hands'' time after time - respect that

Big River bet – fighting with wrong enemies

Got to remember micro limit players are not usually betting out big without good reason Specially then passive player does or aggressive player does after calling or checkin earlier streets. Rule – then somebody will do something unusual be afraid

AVOID - REMEMBER - Small win is better then big loss. It will take long time around the tabel(s) to wait and win it back

BAD BLUFFS

Bluffing on somebody who's WTSD is over 30%

They will not fold whatever happens at the table

Bluffing in multiway pots 

Somebody will come along for sure, bigger opportunity somebody will hit something

Bluffing on half way 

You are showing weakness in wrong time and wrong place. Then started to bluff You got to go all the way and strongly or don't do it at all

AVOID - REMEMbER - Not so many players at micro levels will bluff or know how to play versus bluff then You might think. Leave it for ''better'' players
