Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker enthusiast claims at no time to have looked down the shadow of an upcoming poker tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling long enough. This doesn’t imply obviously that every player has gone on tilt before, a handful of people have awesome willpower and carry their losses as a loss and keep it at that. To be a good poker player, it’s very important to appraise your wins and your losses in a similar way – with little emotion.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic opportunity for a new player to begin tilting. They basically blew too much cash on one hand that they should have won and they’re pissed
