Ah, the tilt. If a poker player claims at no time to have looked down the shadow of a looming tilt – they are either telling a lie or they have not been gambling very long. This does not infer of course that every player has been on tilt in the past, a few players have great control and carry their losses as a hit and leave it at that. To be a great poker player, it’s extremely crucial to approach your successes and your losses in an identical manner – with little emotion.

He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic choice for a fresh gambler to start tilting. They just lost too much money on one round that they should have won and they’re pissed
