Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have looked over the barrel of an upcoming poker tilt – they are either lying or they have not been wagering long enough. This doesn’t imply obviously that each and every one has been on tilt in the past, a number of players have great control and carry their squanderings as a loss and keep it at that. To be a good poker player, it’s very important to appraise your successes and your losses in the same manner – with no emotion.

Now let’s say you are up one hundred dollars off of a 100 dollars deposit, and you take a huge blow in a NL game and your stack is down to one hundred and twenty dollars.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh bettor to start tilting. They just blew too much money on one hand that they really should have won and they’re pissed
