Inside Poker Tips

Ah, the tilt. If a poker player claims never to have stared faced down the barrel of an upcoming tilt – they’re either lying or they haven’t been playing long enough. This doesn’t mean of course that everyone has gone on tilt before, some people have great willpower and take their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a strong poker player, it is very important to treat your wins and your losses in the same manner – with no emotion. You play the game the same way you did after taking a tough beat as you would after winning a huge hand. All poker pros are not tempted by tilting after a bad beat as they are very seasoned and you should be to.

Obviously the factors that you are weighing over in your head are the fact that by slow playing you have a chance to win lots more money, but you also have a much larger chance of getting sucked out on.

So lets go over when you should slow play and when you shouldn’t…

One of the greatest feelings in a poker player’s world is going on a huge poker run. A poker run is when you have a rush of strong hands and win lots of pots right in a row. Poker runs are a poker player’s wet dream in this respect.
