Tilt odds

I’ve always had tilt odds in the back of my mind, but it wasn’t until I started playing NL that I learned how much I can benefit from tilt odds. I’ve never been much of a chatter at tables and I used to never respond when people told me how bad a player I was. But on Titan it seems that there are some great tilt odds just from chatting with people. In my favorite recent incident, I called a jackass that was continually overbetting with A-junk with my A4o, hit an inside straight draw on the flop, called his marginal flop bet (taking into account the tilt odds of winning the hand) turned an open ended straight and nut flush draw and rivered the flush to bust him out. He immediately re-bought in for table max and started in about how terrible my play was and how he was going to bust me out if I keep playing terrible like that. His first hand in he once again overbets the pot. I think about it for a second and he starts in on the chat with “CALL! CALL! RAISE! CALL!”. I respond with “Wait until I get a good hand first.” He goes nuts. He starts dumping chips to everyone at the table, finally when he has $50 left, I get AA in first position when he’s on the button. I call and say “Hey, I’ve got a good drawing hand go ahead and go all-in. He raises my $2 call to $30. I put him all in. His K2o doesn’t improve. I’m going to miss that guy.

I love Tilt players. I love making a move where it looks like I’m on tilt. Like losing a small pot or acting discouraged after a fold. But it requires great timing of cards and people hearing/recognizing your fake tilt. Because if you time it right and you pickp a big hand and make a frustrated all-in, BAM you double up or take down a monster pot. But back to other people being on tilt, I hope one day I get deep into a tournament with Phil Hellmuth. I will tilt him, like its hard to do, and take all his chips. He hates amateurs and hates it more when they take a pot from him. That would be worth any entry fee. Then to tilt him more, bust out two hands later. But that is a twisted fantasy that might not play out quite like that.
