Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker gambler states never to have looked over the shadow of an approaching tilt – they’re either lying or they have not been competing for a long time. This does not infer obviously that every player has gone on tilt in the past, a handful of players have awesome control and carry their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a strong poker player, it’s very critical to approach your successes and your defeats in a similar manner – with no emotion. You play the match in the same manner you did following a tough loss as you would after winning a huge hand.

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