Before you Tilt

[ English ]

Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have stared faced down the shadow of an approaching tilt – they are either lying or they have not been betting long enough. This does not indicate obviously that every poker player has been on tilt before, a handful of people have great willpower and take their squanderings as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a great poker gambler, it is extremely important to approach your successes and your defeats in a similar manner – with little emotion.

You have burned eighty dollars in a hand where you were assured to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and enjoyed a 10 – 1 advantage. And that amateur! He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a brand-new bettor to start tilting. They basically burned too much money on one round that they really should have won and they’re agitated
