Be able to handle that curve ball to be successful in gambling

To be good at gambling, you have to be able to deal with surprises. You never know where wise words about the game of poker will come from. I was reading the Los Angeles Jewish Journal and came across a column about Jewish youth baseball players. Here are the words of a 12-year-old sixth-grader who loves baseball. Daniel has pitched for his team in the Sunday afternoon youth league baseball games for the past seven years.

He said, "Sometimes, when you're nervous, the ball goes out."

The goal is to become a better and more skilled baseball pitcher so that his team can win more often. I thought a lot about this story. I thought that Daniel's goals and statements that make you think can be used in the game of poker. Just like when we play baseball, we compete against each other when we play poker.

Our main goal is, of course, to win a lot of chips—the more, the better. To do this, we work hard to improve as players and learn new skills. And we often face a "curve ball" that (figuratively) "goes off the rails" when an opponent gets the card he needs to beat us on the river.

I can still remember a recent hand of low-limit hold'em at my favorite casino. I started with pocket Jacks, caught a set on the flop, and then made quad Jacks on the turn. Wow! I have been keeping track of "my" chips. This is a large pot. But then the poker gods threw me a curveball when my opponent caught an Ace of spades on the river, giving him a royal straight flush with only two cards left. To make matters worse, that hand does not qualify for the Bad Beat Jackpot because one of his hole cards is not part of his straight flush, you can visit Bobaslot77 the best gambling site in Indonesia.

Obviously, that hand made me feel bad, like a young baseball player getting nervous before a game. If he loses his "cool," it will definitely hurt his game in a very bad way, so we should keep that in mind when we play poker. Some people call it "tilting."
