Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker gambler states at no time to have looked down the shadow of an upcoming tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been playing for a long time. This does not indicate of course that everyone has gone on steam in the past, a few players have great willpower and take their losses as a hit and keep it at that. To be a powerful poker player, it is especially critical to treat your wins and your losses in a similar way – with no emotion.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic opportunity for a new gambler to begin tilting. They basically lost too much $$$$ on one hand that they should have won and they are agitated
