Ah, the tilt. If a poker player states never to have stared faced over the shadow of an upcoming poker tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been wagering very long. This doesn’t indicate of course that everyone has gone on tilt in the past, a handful of people have awesome willpower and take their losses as a hit and keep it at that. To be a powerful poker gambler, it is extremely important to treat your wins and your defeats in the same manner – with no emotion.

Hands which usually cause players to go on tilt are hands that you were the favored or at a minimum believed you were up until you were hit and you lost a big portion of your bankroll. Awful beats are going to happen.

Now let us say you are up one hundred dollars off of a $100 deposit, and you take a large hit in a NL game and your bankroll is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You’ve squandered eighty dollars in a hand where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go 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 here. This is a quintessential opportunity for a fresh player to start tilting. They just lost too much cash on one round that they should have won and they’re aggravated
