As my experience shows, gambling excitement, or emotional game, is the most widespread reason of loss. To become a good player, you should learn how to avoid passion. It sounds quite comprehended, but, as a rule, the majority of people can hardly cope with a number of the circumstances causing similar behavior – bad cards, personal problems, reaction of other players, and simple bad luck.

The gambling excitement reasons

Bad (cold) Cards
People, who constantly get a bad card, play differently from other players. Remember that everyone can play with good cards, but only the winner can play solidly and frostily, even when game is cold to him.

In order not to allow the bad cards to score off, you should aim to play in the first-rate fashion. It also will help you to resist from actions, which can provoke an emotional pressure – for example nervous tracking for bankroll. Your bankroll will constantly grow, if you are the good player and can correctly operate it.

Personal Problems
You should be cleared off from all personal problems before you come into poker room. If your brain is clogged with problems, your opponents have a serious advantage. Be cleared off from all problems and sit down at the table only when you will have the best mood and the best concentration.

Reaction of other players
Do not trust to any word of your opponents. When someone tells you his cards without your request, it can be only the attempt to confuse you. Block any extraneous information or you will be less focused that actually occurs at the table.

Unexpectedly high combinations at contenders (bad beat)
Bad beat is the main reason, which can provoke growth of emotions and nervousness in game. The key to their understanding lays in comprehension of how often they arise. It can be noticed that experience and skills give 60 % to win, and another 40 % is a pure luck. It is too high for blind good luck, and people need sometimes to understand how much lucky other player can have if they wish to win in poker. Bad beat, it is pure and simple, will happen, because people sometimes have a good luck.

Game type
The game type also can force people to play improbably “hotly”. For example the game 1vs1 (heads-up) you can lose over and over again, constantly receiving “cold” cards. In this type of game it is necessary a little bit more good luck, than in other kinds of draw. Also tournaments with a considerable quantity of tables (Multi-Table Tournaments) demand from you very serious luck.

Importance of bankroll (personal bank)
I constantly pray on my bankroll, because it is the primary source of all excitement and emotions. If you lose tournament with an entrance fee $30 from $1000000 bankroll, you will not treat loss as something essential; however your thoughts will be much gloomier if you lose $30 from $60 bankroll. After all – bankroll management is the thing that separates good players from the bad ones.
