Ah, the tilt. If a poker player states never to have looked down the shadow of a looming poker tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been competing long enough. This doesn’t mean obviously that every poker player has been on steam before, a few people have great willpower and take their losses as a defeat and keep it at that. To be a powerful poker gambler, it’s very critical to appraise your wins and your losses in the same manner – with no emotion.

You have lost $80 in a round where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a ten to one advantage. And that fiend! He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic choice for a fresh bettor to begin tilting. They basically burned too much cash on one round that they should have won and they are agitated
