In Advance of a Tilt
Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler states at no time to have peered down the shadow of an approaching steam – they are either lying or they have not been playing very long. This doesn’t mean of course that everyone has gone on tilt before, a handful of people have wonderful control and take their losses as a loss and keep it at that. To be a good poker player, it is very critical to treat your successes and your defeats in an identical way – with little emotion.

You’ve lost eighty dollars in a round where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and had a ten to one edge. And that guy! He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a quintessential choice for a fresh gambler to start tilting. They really just blew too much money on one round that they really should have won and they are angry
