Before you Tilt
Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler states at no time to have looked down the shadow of an upcoming poker steam – they are either lying or they have not been wagering long enough. This doesn’t indicate of course that every poker player has been on tilt before, some people have great control and carry their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a good poker gambler, it’s absolutely important to treat your successes and your defeats in an identical manner – with no emotion.

You’ve lost $80 in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and enjoyed a ten to one advantage. And that amateur! He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic choice for a new gambler to start tilting. They basically lost too much money on one round that they really should have won and they’re agitated
