Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker enthusiast states at no time to have looked over the barrel of an approaching tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been betting for a long time. This does not indicate obviously that every poker player has gone on tilt before, some people have awesome willpower and take their losses as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a strong poker player, it’s absolutely crucial to approach your successes and your losses in an identical way – with no emotion.

Now let us say you are up $100 off of a $100 deposit, and you suffer a big hit in a NL game and your stack is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You have squandered $80 in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and had a 10 – 1 edge. And that amateur! He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic choice for a fresh player to begin tilting. They really just burned too much $$$$ on one hand that they really should have won and they’re agitated
