Ah, the tilt. If a poker gambler states never to have looked over the barrel of an approaching steam – they are either lying or they haven’t been playing very long. This does not indicate obviously that everyone has been on steam before, some players have great willpower and carry their losses as a hit and leave it at that. To be a good poker player, it’s absolutely crucial to treat your wins and your losses in an identical manner – with no emotion.

You’ve lost eighty dollars in a hand where you were assured to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and enjoyed a 10 – 1 edge. And that guy! 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 really just blew too much money on one hand that they should have won and they’re agitated
