How to Deal with Poker Tilt after the Bad Beat

Bad Beats in rakeback poker are one of the elements in poker player’s career. Are we prepared for such an unfortunate incident? If we can not deal with the bad beat we can easily get into the tilt and our results get affected seriously. 
Jonathan little is a great poker player. His winnings brought all together over 4, 3 million of dollars. Little explains how to deal with the poker tilt. Let’s take the cash game with $10/$20, where little is doing very well, although nothing spectacular hasn’t happened.
Pre-flop – the opponent rise up to $80. Little having pocket KK raise up from the small blind up to $260 and when the pot is $560 the opponent checks. Both of the players know each other very well and they probably studied the style of the opponent. Little considered his opponent as loose-aggressive, who plays different and a bit weird games.
Flop Q 9 4 little plays for $340 and he is checked by the opponent. The pot is $1,220 now. Little after such an action bets more of the flops, especially when he’s got top pocket pair. Even though his opponent would go all-in with KK little would check definitely. After all he played against the player who would go all-in having no matter which contact with the flop.
Turn – 8. Little plays for $500 and his opponent play all-in for $1,700. Little checks. The river doesn’t bring a good card for little, but with the JT it could make a strait and that was something what the opponent could have, although he used to play rakeback poker such a card many times with nothing. Perhaps this time the opponent is trying to fake a strong hand.
River – 3. Little show his KK and the opponent – 2 and 9. Thanks to the color on the river he gets an entire pot of $4,620. In this moment little must deal with the bad beat. Unlucky games aren’t pleasant or funny, but we can not take it seriously though. If little feels that he won’t control the emotions the best thing is to get up from the table and stop playing.
If that would be poker tournament he would need to deal with the tilt and play further. Sometime it might be worth to continue the cash game as well. We need to control the emotions and play as nothing has happened. We have to learn how to deal with the tilt. After loosing buy-in twice in a row Little takes a break or he stops the game. Thanks to that he doesn’t play when he is anxious. Bad Beats though are not up to us. Worse scenario is when we make the wrong move.
