Right Before you Tilt
Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have looked down the shadow of an upcoming tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been competing very long. This does not indicate obviously that every player has been on steam before, a few people have excellent willpower and carry their squanderings as a defeat and keep it at that. To be a strong poker player, it’s absolutely important to approach your successes and your losses in the same way – with little emotion.

You’ve lost $80 in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and enjoyed a ten to one advantage. And that amateur! He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic opportunity for a brand-new bettor to begin tilting. They just lost too much cash on one hand that they really should have won and they’re agitated
