Before you Tilt

[ English ]

Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler states at no time to have peered down the shadow of a looming steam – they’re either lying or they haven’t been gambling long enough. This doesn’t mean obviously that everyone has been on tilt before, some players have wonderful willpower and take their losses as a loss and keep it at that. To be a powerful poker player, it’s very important to treat your wins and your defeats in a similar manner – with little emotion.

You have lost eighty dollars in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and enjoyed a 10 – 1 edge. And that amateur! He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a new player to begin tilting. They basically burned too much money on one round that they should have won and they are angry
