Right Before you Tilt
Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler claims never to have peered down the barrel of an approaching poker tilt – they are either lying or they haven’t been playing for a long time. This does not imply of course that everyone has been on steam in the past, some players have excellent control and take their losses as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a great poker gambler, it’s especially important to approach your successes and your losses in an identical manner – with no emotion.

You’ve burned $80 in a round 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 fish! He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a brand-new player to start tilting. They really just blew too much cash on one round that they really should have won and they are angry
