How to Avoid Tilt in Poker

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

WSOP Cards

Poker is often described as a game of skill, psychology, and patience. Yet for many players, the toughest opponent they face is not the player across the table, but their own emotional state. Few concepts illustrate this better than tilt.

Tilt is responsible for countless blown sessions, early tournament exits, unnecessary bankroll damage, and talented players quitting the game altogether. Understanding what tilt is, why it happens, and how to control it is one of the most important steps a poker player can take toward long-term improvement.

Buonomo Heads Home

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action was picked up on a flop of 10A3 with Joseph Buonomo already all in from the big blind. Early position Nishant Sharma and cutoff Kfir Nahum were contesting a dry side pot, with the main pot standing at 500,000.

Action checked through, and the same happened on the 3 turn. Sharma checked for a third time on the K river, before calling a bet of 200,000 from Nahum.

Nahum tabled QJ for Broadway, and both other players mucked their cards.

Betbese Gets the Best of Pavlov

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Atanas Pavlov
Atanas Pavlov

Atanas Pavlov opened from the small blind before Roberto Betbese went into the tank from the big blind. The clock was called before Betbese three-bet to 315,000. Pavlov quickly shoved, and Betbese called to put himself at risk for 1,01500 total.

Roberto Betbese: 1010All in
Atanas Pavlov: AJ

Betbese was best preflop, but he needed to fade the overcards of Pavlov to secure the double.

The flop had paint, but not the paint that compromised Betbese as the dealer fanned out 5K3 to keep the pocket tens of Betbese ahead with two cards to go.

The Q turn gave Pavlov some additional outs, but the river was safe for Betbese as it came the 4 to award him the double-up.
