Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have stared faced over the barrel of a looming poker steam – they’re either lying or they have not been competing for a long time. This doesn’t mean obviously that every player has been on steam in the past, a number of people have great control and carry their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a great poker player, it is especially critical to treat your wins and your losses in a similar manner – with little emotion.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh player to begin tilting. They basically burned too much cash on one hand that they should have won and they’re agitated
