Ah, the tilt. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have looked down the barrel of an approaching poker tilt – they are either lying or they haven’t been playing long enough. This doesn’t mean of course that every poker player has been on steam in the past, some players have excellent control and carry their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a powerful poker gambler, it is absolutely critical to appraise your wins and your losses in an identical manner – with little emotion.

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