Ah, the tilt. If a poker player states at no time to have peered down the barrel of an upcoming tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been wagering long enough. This doesn’t indicate obviously that everyone has been on steam before, a number of players have great control and carry their losses as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a great poker gambler, it is extremely important to approach your wins and your losses in the same way – with little emotion. You play the match the same way you did following a hard loss like you would after winning a huge hand.

Hands which usually cause people go on tilt are hands that you were the favorite or at least believed you were up until you were rivered and you lost a big chunk of your bankroll. Awful losses are going to develop.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a new gambler to start tilting. They basically blew too much cash on one hand that they really should have won and they are pissed
