Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have stared faced down the shadow of a looming steam – they are either telling a lie or they have not been wagering very long. This does not mean obviously that every poker player has gone on tilt before, a handful of people have awesome willpower and carry their losses as a hit and keep it at that. To be a brilliant poker gambler, it is very crucial to treat your wins and your defeats in the same way – with no emotion.

He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic choice for a brand-new gambler to start tilting. They just blew too much money on one hand that they should have won and they’re aggravated
