In Advance of a Tilt
Monday, 30. November 2009
Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker player claims at no time to have stared faced down the shadow of an upcoming steam – they are either lying or they haven’t been gambling very long. This does not mean obviously that every player has gone on steam before, some people have wonderful control and carry their losses as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a great poker player, it is extremely crucial to approach your successes and your losses in the same way – with no emotion.

You have lost eighty dollars in a round where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and had a ten to one edge. And that fish! He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a quintessential opportunity for a fresh gambler to start tilting. They basically lost too much money on one round that they should have won and they’re angry
