Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker player claims never to have looked over the shadow of a looming steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been wagering very long. This doesn’t imply obviously that every poker player has been on tilt in the past, a handful of players have great willpower and carry their squanderings as a hit and keep it at that. To be a brilliant poker player, it is especially important to treat your successes and your defeats in a similar manner – with little emotion.

He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a new bettor to start tilting. They basically lost too much cash on one hand that they should have won and they’re pissed
