In Advance of a Tilt

Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player claims never to have looked over the shadow of an approaching poker tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been competing for a long time. This does not imply obviously that every poker player has gone on tilt in the past, a handful of players have excellent willpower and carry their squanderings as a defeat and keep it at that. To be a great poker gambler, it is very important to approach your successes and your defeats in an identical way – with no emotion. You play the game in the same manner you did following a difficult beat like you would after winning a huge hand.

You’ve squandered $80 in a hand where you were sure to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and had a ten to one edge. And that guy!
