Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker enthusiast states never to have peered over the barrel of an upcoming steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling for a long time. This doesn’t imply obviously that everyone has been on steam before, a few people have excellent willpower and take their losses as a loss and keep it at that. To be a good poker player, it is absolutely important to approach your successes and your losses in the same way – with no emotion.

He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh bettor to start tilting. They just blew too much $$$$ on one round that they really should have won and they are agitated
